A Broad Examination of Bread Making through the Centuries

I read this book because I was interested in the workplace and commercial history of breadmaking, and from that perspective there are some fascinating sections here. The coverage of the horrid conditions of pre-Industrial Revolution bakeries is insightful, as are the sections dealing with technological innovations that changed the business of baking and the understanding of the breadmaking process over the centuries. If you're interested in the cultural history of bread and how to make bread yourself there's a lot here on those topics as well
