However, he observed that fresh vegetables wetted and left outside in the Arctic winds froze in a way that maintained their integrity after thawing. As a result, he developed his patented Birdseye freezing process and started the company that still bears his name. Birdseye forever changed the way we preserve, store, and distribute food, and the way we eat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMark Kurlansky's vibrant and affectionate narrative reveals Clarence Birdseye as a quintessential \"can-do\" American inventor--his other patents include an electric sunlamp, a harpoon gun to tag finback whales, and an improved incandescent lightbulb--and shows how the greatest of changes can come from the simplest of ideas and the unlikeliest of places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Kurlansky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0767930304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780767930307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Mark Kurlansky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994896892159,"sku":"9780767930307","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27958dd2-fa80-4295-a6a0-29b60825664b.jpg?v=1683332814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birdseye-mark-kurlansky-9780767930307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
