Description
Milk: A 10,000-year History is a fascinating exploration of the cultural, economic and culinary significance of milk and dairy products. Since the domestication of animals over 10,000 years ago, humans have cultivated the milk of other mammals, shaping our cuisine, politics and society in profound ways. Tracing the history of milk from antiquity to the present day, historian Mark Kurlansky reveals its curious and crucial role in human evolution, religion, nutrition, politics and economics. With recipes throughout, this book offers a unique perspective on the liquid that has been at the heart of human civilization for so long. By examining the complex issues surrounding milk production, from industrial farming to debates about raw milk and pasteurization, Kurlansky sheds new light on the intricate relationships between food, culture and society.
