Cold is the single most important enemy of life, and this book,
first published in 1985, discusses the responses of living
organisms to low temperatures. Subfreezing temperatures in
particular affect the properties of water, which is essential to
life, and the book describes the physics and chemistry of water in
the context of physiology. Injury from cooling and the way in which
organisms respond and survive, as well as the mechanism of cold
hardening in micro-organisms, insects and plants are discussed. The
laboratory exploitation of low temperatures to preserve life and to
protect labile materials against freeze damage is also considered.
