    Chilling Reading About a Crucial Technology
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2017*

Not the most exciting history-of-science book I've read, but still it's interesting reading about one of the underpinnings of modern society: the "cold chain" of refrigerated food and medicine. It's important on such a level that we'd probably have mass famine if it vanished suddenly. Jackson's book talks about the history of the technology, from early experiments with wine-chilling and ventilation to the misadventures of the first men who tried to ship ice internationally and the invention of the modern refrigerator. I would have liked to see more about the modern cold chain itself and how it fits into the global economy, but there's still some interesting reading here. Books like this are at their best when they talk about how the technology affects people's lives, and there's some attention to that and not just to the technology itself.

    A well-written history
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2017*

This is a GREAT book.  True, refrigeration did change the world, but in this well-written, informative book, author Tom Jackson takes you all the way to the beginning (and it's Far Longer Ago than you might think) of the effort to keep food from spoiling.  The number of people from around the world, some known, some unknown, who got us to this point where we take "getting a cold one" completely for granted.  The author does a commendable job of narrating this history, striking for me what is the proper balance between straight journalism and narrative storytelling.  You'll never look at your refrigerator the same way again!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    For the refrigeration geeks out there.
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019*

This is a well researched book. It can be a tough read for many as it delves deeply into the history, physics and chemistry of refrigeration.
