Tuz Üzerinden Dünya Tarihi

Kurlansky's deep dive into salt's history is fascinating, but I'm curious how he decided which stories and regions to highlight. Did he have a particular narrative or theme in mind from the start?

The book covers so many different periods and places—sometimes it felt like a whirlwind of facts. Was this breadth intentional to show salt's global impact, or did it make tracking the narrative harder?

Salt's influence on human societies is clear, but I'm wondering if it truly changed the course of history in the same way as more recent resources. What are everyone’s thoughts?
