Refrigeration seems like one of the more mundane aspects of modern life in the West as we rarely seem to think about it unless the appliance in the kitchen dies or the power is out, but this book caught my eye because it's not mundane. It's pretty much a modern miracle. From food to film (yes, the Kodak kind that hospitals need for radiology), the chain that things move along to serve us is amazing. This book was a fascinating look at the origin and applications of refrigeration, and I learned quite a lot. The first two-thirds of the book was the most interesting to me, and there's also a very comprehensive appendix.

I would recommend this and would read another by Twilley. Also, points for the very enticing cover. I'll never look at those frozen berries so nonchalantly in my freezer again.
