About book Absolute Zero And The Conquest Of Cold (2000)
This book had lots of wonderful information, and I learned a thing or two that I didn't know before about science and history. It wasn't a difficult read, but it had some slow parts, and I wish that it had been organized a little different. Instead of building towards one idea, this book bounces around a little. I think I got a little bored with all of the economic influences that the study of cold had/has... while I understand it's a big factor, and a driving motivation for some people, I just like all the tidbits about what strange stuff happens when stuff is super-cooled. I also liked the discussions about HOW something is made to be so cold, I didn't know there were different ways of making something cold. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a little more serious about learning the science and history of absolute zero, who won't be dissatisfied with less story telling... it reads a little more like a textbook, and that is the only reason why I didn't rate it higher.
