Bøker av Jonathan (Professor of History Rees

This engaging book will interest anyone who's curious about the pitfalls that eaters faced at the turn of the twentieth century.

Before the Refrigerator is ideal for history of technology classes, food studies classes, or anyone interested in what daily life in the United States was like between 1880 and 1930.

Rees shows that how we obtain and preserve perishable food is related to our changing relationship with the natural world.
