Beschreibung

How Salt Works explores the surprisingly complex story of salt, a substance vital to both cooking and civilization. It delves into the chemistry of sodium chloride, explaining how its unique properties enable food preservation through pickling and curing, extending shelf life by preventing spoilage. The book also highlights salt's historical significance, revealing its role in shaping economies, trade routes, and even military conflicts.

 
The book approaches the topic by examining the science, applications, and history of salt. It progresses from the chemical properties of salt to its culinary uses, health implications, and historical impact, concluding with practical guidelines for usage and dietary recommendations.

 
Understanding salt, therefore, becomes more than just knowing a seasoning; it's understanding a fundamental aspect of human life.

More Than Just a Dog:...

Simon Wooler

'A must-read for anyone who loves dogs.' – Rory Cellan-Jones
This book explores what every dog owner knows – that a dog is never just a dog.
They are our companions, best friends, members of the family and for some the most important part of our lives.
Our ability to make meaningful connections with other animal species and their ability to return the favour is, perhaps, never more beautiful than the bond we have with dogs.
Simon Wooler, trainer to Sophie from Romania, social media’s most famous fearful canine, unlocks the heart of the special relationship we have with dogs.
He explores how, over millennia, they have inveigled their way into our homes and hearts and evolved to live alongside us. Demystifying the science behind dog behaviour, he explains how they learn (and why they sometimes seem immune to our efforts to train them), how they communicate and what influences the powerful bond they form with their people.
Perfect for dog lovers – the essential guide to loving your canine companion.
‘This book is a wonderful read. Full of insights, essential as well as practical advice on dogs.’ Niall Harbison
Drawing on ethology, zoology and the sciences, Wooler delivers a practical, personal non-fiction guide and reference that makes animal behaviour feel understandable for everyday life with pets. With a keen eye for nature and a gift for showing the small moments that matter, he reveals how thoughtful training can transform the way animals and people communicate.
For fans of Patricia B. Mcconnell (The Cautious Canine-How to Help Dogs Conquer Their Fears), Kevin Behan (Your Dog Is Your Mirror), Kim Brophey (Meet Your Dog), Markus Zusak (Three Wild Dogs), and Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton (The Heat of the Moment).
