    John Burnett, Katherine Mercer et al.ARTICLEFolk Life2003Citada por: 1Referências: 9

It is imp…

This article offers new insights into the possibilities assoc…

    This essay has two purposes. First, it outlines the development of the milk supply of the city of Glasgow, concentrating on the period between 1820 and 1960, and emphasising the problems of producing a milk supply that was free from disease. Second, it explores some aspects of the idea that life has become more (and sometimes less) complex over the last two centuries.
