  As a food, milk has been revered and ignored, respected and feared. In the face of its 'material resistance', attempts were made to purify it of dirt and disease, and to standardize its fat content. This title tells the history of the struggle to bring milk under control, and, as a result, to redraw the boundaries between nature and society.
