📝 Description: Liquid Materialities: A History of Milk, Science and the Law

As a food, milk has been revered and ignored, respected and feared. This is a history of two centuries of struggle to bring it under control, to manipulate its naturally variable composition and, as a result, to redraw the boundaries between nature and society.

This title is clearly not a cookbook. Do not expect recipes or baking tips. It is an academic historical analysis of milk’s legal and scientific trajectory. While intellectually stimulating for historians, it lacks the practical utility expected in a cooking section. Readers seeking culinary inspiration will be disappointed by its theoretical tone and lack of actionable content.
