Season 1, Episode 14

Today’s guest was Dr. Thomas Sinclair, and we discussed his book “Bread, Beer, and the Seeds of Change: Agriculture’s Imprint on World History”.  It is a fascinating journey through the history of grains, foods, and humans.  I highly recommend it.  More information can be found about Professor Sinclair and his work at his faculty webpage at North Carolina State University.
Information about this book can be found at CABI’s website.
CABI has a variety of publications about agriculture, and it has a global reach.  They work to help farmers and governments protect livelihoods and the environment, improve food safety and people’s lives.  They have outreach and training programs, as well as publishing platforms for knowledge transfer to developing countries.  More can be found at their website.
If you are interested in this subject, I have recently found another interesting paper that discusses experimental archaeology:  “Reinvigorating Modern Breadmaking Based on Ancient Practices and Plant Ingredients, with Implementation of a Physicochemical Approach”, which is free to download at MDPI.
