Between the wheat field and the toast rack stands a surprising amount of science: marketing, milling, baking, and the composition of bread, traced by Cambridge agricultural chemist T. B. Wood. The story of a loaf of bread follows one staple through its whole industrial journey. Everyday food examined seriously. Trace your slice to its source.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
