The opening introduces the reader to the vital role salt has played across civilizations, detailing its ancient methods of extraction and usage that date back to the Roman period. Calvert discusses the evolution of the salt industry, starting from primitive practices of procuring brine to more complex techniques introduced with the discovery of rock salt. He also hints at the challenges faced by the industry, including monopolistic practices and the resistance to innovation. The narrative highlights the romantic yet harsh realities of the salt trade, aiming to captivate the reader with a blend of historical richness and factual detail about salt as a commodity and its lasting impact on society.
