In After Cooling, Eric Dean Wilson braids together air-conditioning history, climate science, road trips, and philosophy to tell the story of the birth, life, and afterlife of Freon, the refrigerant that ripped a hole larger than the continental United States in the ozone layer. As he traces the refrigerant’s life span from its invention in the 1920s — when it was hailed as a miracle of scientific progress — to efforts in the 1980s to ban the chemical (and the resulting political backlash), Wilson finds himself on a journey through the American heartland.

We Are Not A Closed System
Revisado: 08-17-21
An insightful history and sociology of one of the most destructive substances ever mass produced, both for our environment and for our civic life. Very engaging in its mix of science, biography, philosophy, and first hand reportage.
