Sinopsis

"Time Myths" explores the fascinating connection between how we track time today and the ancient myths that continue to shape our understanding of cosmic cycles. It argues that our current scientific and historical views on time are deeply rooted in cultural narratives, challenging the notion of time as solely objective. For instance, many ancient calendars, such as the Mayan or Egyptian, weren't just about marking days; they were tangible expressions of mythological beliefs. The book progresses by first introducing fundamental concepts of time and mythology, then analyzing specific calendars to reveal embedded narratives. It supports its claims with archaeological findings, ancient texts, and astronomical data. By comparing ancient myths with modern scientific practices, "Time Myths" reveals hidden cultural biases in our understanding of time. This approach offers readers fresh insights into modern interpretations of time and its impact on society, highlighting how our perception of time is a cultural construct. Ultimately, recognizing the cultural relativity of time, as "Time Myths" advocates, can deepen our understanding of diverse societies and worldviews. This recognition is crucial for cross-cultural communication and education. The book provides a unique perspective on the cultural construction of time, valuable for anyone interested in history, science, or mythology.

    "In the following pages I have endeavoured to give the reader a plain, honest, homespun account of my state in life, and some few of the difficulties which have attended me along its journey, down to this time. I am perfectly aware, that I have related many small and, as I fear, uninteresting circumstances; but if so, my apology is, that it was rendered necessary by a desire to link the different periods of my life together, as they have passed, from my childhood onward, and thereby to enable the reader to select such parts of it as he may relish most, if, indeed, there is any thing in it which may suit his palate."

    In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created.
    
    Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells so much about our culture and society, our desires and our weaknesses, from the broad sweep of bread creating human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie, or the fact that mince pies used to be meaty.
    
    When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection as technology improves. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, sometimes knowledge is lost and skills forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are worth trying out (and mention a few that should perhaps be left in the past).
    
    The reader will be inspired by the characters, creations and inventions of the past to be better and more adventurous bakers.
