Mark Kurlansky's first global food history since the bestselling Cod
and Salt; the fascinating cultural, economic and culinary story of
milk and all things dairy – with recipes throughout While mother's
milk may be the essence of nourishment, it is the milk of other
mammals that humans have cultivated ever since the domestication of
animals more than 10,000 years ago. Today, milk is a test case in the
most pressing issues in food politics, from industrial farming and
animal rights to GMOs, the locavore movement and advocates for raw
milk, who controversially reject pasteurisation. Profoundly
intertwined with human civilisation, milk has a compelling and
surprisingly global story to tell, and historian Mark Kurlansky is the
perfect person to tell it. Tracing the liquid's diverse history from
antiquity to the present, he details its curious and crucial role in
cultural evolution, religion, nutrition, politics, and economics.
