Cover of the print book Milk! by Mark Kurlansky showing a bunch of images in the history of milk including some Egyptian drawings, a friendly UK milkman delivering after the blitz, a few other images I don't recognize and front and center a large glass jar of milk with a bright red top on which is written the title of the book.

   Book 125: Milk! A 10,000 Year Food Fracas. Kurlansky writes nice predictable books on broad topics, full of trivia that is interesting and not too judgey. That can be tricky to do with a topic like milk which has a history which is full of drama! He goes to places where they make artisanal cheeses, talks to people who are raw milk enthusiasts, talks about the history of "swill milk" (did you know about this? I did not) and includes a lot of hand-drawn pictures of cows.
