An exploration of refrigeration, tracing its evolution from scientific mystery to globe-spanning infrastructure, and an investigation into how it has remade our entire relationship with food â for better and for worse.
What The Reviewers Say
[Twilley's] engrossing book combines lucid history, science and a thoughtful consideration of how daily life today is both dependent on and deformed by this matrix of artificial cold.
Nicola Twilley... tells the fascinating story of refrigeration.
Deeply researched and highly engaging.
Oddly fascinating.
