Cryobiology is the subject of this clearly written book by Lucy Kavaler; even those who fancy that they dislike biology or science in general will find this book fascinating. Kavaler writes about heart transplants andpeople addicted to eating ice cubes; people buried in snow who survivedthat experience and the longer average life span of those who in live incold climates; arctic exploration and Australian aborigines; experiments onthe relative tolerance of people to cold and hot; and a great deal more, ina nice, fat volume that reads as fast as a billboard (well, almost).
