Read from June 03 to 13, 2012

Brief, light, interesting biography of Birdseye, who was clearly one of life's "see a need and fill it" kind of people. Besides inventing the particular quick-freezing technique that allowed for the widespread production of frozen food of edible quality worldwide, he patented a paper making process from sugar cane, and many other disparate but useful inventions.

Recommended for lovers of food, and people who like biographies of charismatic, inquisitive, interesting people.
