We'll discuss Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed our Food, our Planet, and Ourselves by Nicola Twilley. Books are available at the Adult & Teen Services Desk one month before each discussion.

An engaging and far-reaching exploration of refrigeration, tracing its evolution from scientific mystery to globe-spanning infrastructure, and an essential investigation into how it has remade our entire relationship with food-for better and for worse. Just a century ago, eating food that had been refrigerated was cause for both fear and excitement.
