THE PICTURE BOOK OF SALT by Anita Brooks

THE PICTURE BOOK OF SALT

By

Pub Date: Feb. 10th, 1964
Publisher: John Day

The fourth title in the Picture Aids to World Geography Series gives a crystal-clear idea of the nature of salt, how it is made and mined. Photographs on every page are close, sharp shots of miners and salt farmers engaged in various aspects of their work. The author makes several comparisons -- in text and pictures -- between the ancient and modern methods still practiced. Worthwhile in or out of the classroom.
