This book explores a part of the land that we use every day but seldom think about - salt. It examines what people use salt for, before summarising the history of salt. Then it looks at the mining of salt, particularly at Lake Assal in East Africa. There is an activity at the end where learners can make their own salt crystals. The last page is a glossary explaining some difficult terms.
