No Milk Today


Book Description

Traditionally, in British society, the milkman has been a family friend, a sex symbol and a cheerful chappie. He has been the eyes and ears of the community, and his genetic legacy has supposedly passed into the lineage of housewives. This collection of folk tales about milkmen covers the history of the job and the milkman's everyday experience. The book is structured by the milkman's working day. It starts with the alarm-clock and ends with the milkman returning home in search of sustenance and tender loving care. The book is less about changes in the dairy industry and more about the work experiences of the people who have delivered milk. Many milkmen are featured: Chris Frankland delivered over eight million pints before he retired at seventy-four; Alistair Maclean drove two million miles across the north coast of Scotland in fifty years; and Tony Fowler, an award-winning Leicestershire milkman, helped to put over fifty people in prison. For more than thirty years the author has collected milkman stories through oral testimony, newspaper archives, anecdotes, diaries, books and more formal interviews.

Out of Milk


Book Description

“Did you ever go to bed and wonder if your child was getting enough to eat?” For food insecure mothers, the worry is constant, and babies are at risk of going hungry. Through compelling interviews, Lesley Frank answers the breastfeeding paradox: why women who can least afford to buy infant formula are less likely to breastfeed. She reveals that what and how infants are fed is linked to the social and economic status of those who feed them. She exposes the reality of food insecurity for formula-fed babies, the constraints limiting mothers’ ability to breastfeed, and the lengths to which mothers must go to provide for their children. In a country that leaves the problem of food insecurity to charities, public policies are failing to support the most vulnerable populations. Out of Milk calls out the pressing need to establish the economic and social conditions necessary for successful breastfeeding and for accessible and safe formula feeding for families everywhere.

The Winter Without Milk


Book Description

Jane Avrich explores the perils of desire in these fifteen brilliant stories. Here are characters irresistibly attracted to excess -- material, emotional, spiritual -- who must in the end choose between a life of self-indulgence and a life of self-control. The results are both disastrous and uplifting, and often wickedly funny. Throughout The Winter Without Milk are reimagined characters from literature and history -- Oedipus, Lady Macbeth, Scheherezade, for example -- as well as everyday people who want more. Avrich's writing ranges from whimsical to cerebral. She pays homage to everyone from Kafka to Keats to Sophocles but is very much an original and a major new talent in contemporary fiction.




My Mommy Has No Milk


Book Description

As a first time parent of adopted infants, Terrell faced multiple questions of not only how to be a new parents and father, but also how to explain to his sons that they are adopted and what that means. He searched for direction at the library, multiple seminars and educational classes and found them to be little help. The best advice he found was to always use proper and consistent terms and to keep his messages short and simple. Terrell and his sons visited his ranch frequently and became enamored with the cattle and the calves. Terrell made up stories for his sons that would continue every night at bedtime. One night he decided to make up a story about a baby calf whose mother couldn't take care of him and who went through the pasture looking for another Mommy to adopt her newborn baby. Upon request by his boys he found himself repeating the story on a nightly basis. When his boys were old enough to ask why they had different skin, why their eyes were a different color, and why they didn't look the same as he did he found himself a simple answer, because you are adopted. They instantly related it to the story and never questioned what adoption was, his love for them, the love of their birth mother and the circumstances as to why they were adopted. Because of their response and total amount of comfort with adoption Terrell wanted to share this story with other adoptive parents.
