Abstract
THE increasing use of refrigerating processes in the distribution and preservation of food, and also in many important industries, has already called for a special type of engineer who must possess a knowledge, not only of machines and mechanism, but also of the theoretical properties of heat. Nowadays, when the market for electrical engineers is becoming uncomfortably crowded, young men would do well to consider the prospects open to them as refrigerating engineers. To those who wish to enter this profession Mr. Anderson's book will be most welcome as an introduction to the fundamental principles on which modern refrigerating processes depend.
