This book presents a study on a traditional salt-making method still practiced by a handful of salt artisans in Bohol Province, Philippines. Known locally as asin tibuok, this salt is made using a labor-intensive process that involves extracting and processing salt from seawater and boiling enriched brine in earthenware pots, producing hardened rock salt.\n\nThe book describes the step-by-step process of making asin tibuok and explores the relationship between the native materials used in the production process and the environment. This includes a rare modern-day example of how hand-made, low-fired earthenware pottery is used in salt production. The book also provides a brief historical context of salt making in the Central Philippines. Illustrations are used extensively to accompany the text. Appropriate for both academics and non-academics.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B095GFKVG2\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B095GFKVG2.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yankowski, Andrea|Alipala, Joselito Jay\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43160600182845,"sku":"BVV.B095GFKVG2.VG","price":12.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/asin-tibuok-traditional-salt-making-in-alburquerque-bohol-philippines","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
