Beautiful day in Whitehorse today 🇨🇦

Deadhorse to Fairbanks 🚴‍♂️🏔️😎

Dinner with a view 🥘

🚴‍♂️🏔️🌎 Tomorrow I start my proof of work in cycling from Deadhorse, Alaska to El Salvador. I anticipate the 15,000kms or so to take about a year. I’ll be looking to use Bitcoin as much as possible along the way, and I’ll be doing my best to spread to word to no-coiners. Follow my journey here!

-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky is a fascinating exploration of how salt a simple mineral has shaped human civilization, economies, and cultures across millennia. Published in 2002, the book blends history, science, and anthropology to reveal salt’s surprising influence on everything from ancient trade routes to modern politics.

Kurlansky traces salt’s role from prehistoric times, when early humans followed animal trails to salt licks, to its use as a preservative that allowed civilizations to store food and expand. He highlights how salt fueled empires, inspired wars (such as the salt taxes that sparked revolutions), and even influenced language (the word "salary" comes from the Roman practice of paying soldiers in salt). The book takes readers on a global journey, from the salt mines of ancient China to the Venetian salt monopolies, from Gandhi’s Salt March against British rule to the modern food industry’s reliance on processed salt.

Beyond its historical impact, Kurlansky examines salt’s cultural significance—how it appears in religious rituals, folklore, and cuisine worldwide. The narrative is enriched with period recipes, anecdotes, and illustrations that bring salt’s story to life.

Salt is a compelling read for anyone interested in how everyday substances have quietly shaped the world. Kurlansky’s engaging style turns what might seem like a mundane topic into a sweeping epic of human ingenuity and survival.
