Abstract
THIS argumentative book covers a wide field, a field almost as large as the milk industry itself; and as in the industry, so in the book, science and prejudice, sound sense and special pleading, clear vision and obscurantism, jostle one another. Although the author somewhat disarmingly assesses the book as an endeavour "to bring interesting and helpful things to light, and to aid in the movement for higher efficiency", and again "as a confession of faith from a convinced believer in the high value of milk", yet since substantial portions of the book are concerned with technical matters bearing on the important subject of the heat treatment of milk, it is legitimate to apply to these portions of the book the usual standards of scientific appraisal.
