Welcome
Welcome to VirtualSalt, a site containing resources for learners of all kinds--college and university students, whether on campus, commuting, or attending online, and those who want to get a university degree someday, people who want to find information and want a bit of assistance in searching for it. The resources here have also been used effectively by middle school and high school students in public, private, and homeschool settings. There is something for everybody. I  have divided the site into categories to help you navigate, but feel free to choose anything from any category that appeals to you.

VirtualSalt Publishing
This Web site is also home to the VirtualSalt Publishing imprint, which has published several of my (Robert Harris') books. Many are available in Kindle format as well as hard copy. Below are some of my currently available works, from VirtualSalt Publishing and from other publishers.
