FR: Le sel a joué un rôle fondamental dans l¿histoire des régions atlantiques. Utile pour ses qualités de conservation des aliments, élément du pouvoir royal ou seigneurial, le sel atlantique a été un des moteurs du commerce maritime en Europe. À partir du XXe siècle, les avancées technologiques et la concurrence du sel industriel a été à l¿origine de bouleversements économiques et paysagers. Servi par une iconographie exceptionnelle, cet ouvrage aide à la connaissance de cette culture riche et variée du sel.
Abstract (EN):
The book traces the history of salt and salt sites from Prehistory to the present. It deals with production as well
as techniques, landscapes, trade and uses within a geographical area stretching from the United Kingdom, through France and Spain to Portugal. The biodiversity of salt sites is also addressed, both flora and fauna,
with special attention to birds and the integration of salt sites in nature conservation areas. In the final section, the project salt sites, and others, are described in order to promote an ecotourism circuit called The Traditional Salt Atlantic Route. The subjects covered refer to various disciplines such as archaeology, history, geography, ethnography, ecology, .Special attention has been paid to the quality and variety of the iconography, some hitherto unpublished, the result of considerable work and research at international level, This is the first
time that such a book brings together so much multidisciplinary data on salt and salt sites, both coastal and inland, for the entire European Atlantic Space.
