From baguettes to pita, from corn bread to flour tortillas, every culture finds a way to make it and bake it.

He travels across the country to find out what happens when traditional assembly lines collide with cutting-edge technology to build familiar yet extraordinary objects in our everyday lives. This program has reports on who, exactly, is manning the automobile assembly line these days? Also, how do you make an airbag that not only deploys within milliseconds of an accident, but knows how full to inflate depending on the size and weight of the passenger? And, finally, if it doesn't grow on trees, where does money actually come from?

"Modern Marvels - The Butcher "

This documentary traces the trade's evolution--from yesteryear's butcher-on-every-corner to today's industrial butcher working on a "disassembly" line. We tour the infamous remains of the Chicago Stockyards, where Upton Sinclair, Clarence Birdseye, and refrigeration changed butchering forever; witness high-speed butchering; and travel to a non-stop sausage factory. And if you're still squeamish, a USDA inspector offers the lowdown on HACCP--the country's new system of checks and balances on everything from quality grading to E. coli, Salmonella, and Mad Cow Disease. Finally, we visit the last bastion of old-school butchering--the rural custom butcher, who slaughters, eviscerates, skins, and cuts to his customer's wishes.
