Publisher's summary

Ever wondered how we went from storing food in ice pits to reaching into a humming fridge for fresh strawberries in winter? Refrigeration from the Restroom Reads series takes you on a cool journey through the surprising history of one of humanity’s greatest game-changers. Packed with quirky facts, fascinating history, and a dash of humor, this book reveals how the quest for cold transformed everything from food preservation to health, global trade, and even architecture.

Explore the adventures of early “Ice King” Frederic Tudor, who shipped ice to the tropics and introduced the world to chilled drinks, and discover the modern innovations of smart fridges and eco-friendly refrigerants aimed at reducing our carbon footprint. Each short chapter makes it perfect for quick, bite-sized reads—ideal for anyone curious about the world’s coolest invention. So next time you’re standing in front of your refrigerator, take a moment to appreciate the incredible history hiding behind that door!
