BOOKS:

Grain By Grain: A Quest to Revive Ancient Wheat, Rural Jobs, and Healthy Food By Bob Quinn

Deborah Madison on Sourdough and Whole Grain Cookbooks: There are a lot of them and they all seem to have their own approach. In my experience, find an author you like a lot and practice what they suggest. Otherwise it gets very confusing.
I like Sarah Owens’s books —Sourdough, Toast and Jam, and Heirloom.
Two bread cookbooks I like (though not about sourdough throughout) are:
The Italian Baker by Carol Field.  Uses a lot of biga and the recipes are wonderful.
The Breads of France: And How to Bake Them in Your Own Kitchen by Bernard Clayton.
Restoring Heritage Grains: The Culture biodiversity Resilience and Cuisine of Ancient Wheats by Eli Rogosa.
Bread : A Global History by William Rubel.  This slender volume is a history and the glossary in the back is utterly worth it. William Rubel is a scholar and this little book is part of The Edible Series.
Mother Grain by Roxana Julapat
Sourdough by Sarah Owens
