Kurlansky, Mark, Frozen in Time.
Pgs. 165. Random House, 2014. $15.99. INFORMATION.
Ever wondered how the frozen food
in your freezer came to being? When one opens the freezer, they might not think
about how someone had to invent that technology, but the invention of it is
almost a miracle in itself. From his observations of how Native American tribes
preserved food to the development and selling of the technology shortly before
the Stock Market Crash of 1929 all came together with impeccable timing. This
book is the story of this instrumental frontier technology and how it forever
changed the world. A fascinating, engaging book with great use of facts,
primary sources, and knowledge of history. Readers who are interested in the
food process or who need to read a non-fiction book will enjoy reading this
book. Included are a bibliography and index for further investigation. MS, HS.
OPTIONAL. Reviewer: Jessica M, Library Media Specialist, Olympus Jr. High.
