Life in the Frozen State (2004)
http://pages.britishlibrary.net/b.fuller/
Fuller BJ, Lane N, Benson, EE (eds.); CRC Press, Boca Raton, USA
Refrigeration or freezing prevents the decay of living things, but
science has recently begun to explore whether cold not only prevents
decay, but also preserves life. An interdisciplinary subject that
combines fundamental research on organisms adapted to natural freezing
stresses and emerging areas of applied biotechnology and biology,
cryobiology is starting to play an increasingly important role in
medicine, agriculture, horticulture and forestry, as well as the conservation
of endangered or economically important plant, animal and microbial
species. Life in the Frozen State is a comprehensive review of the
effects of freezing on living organisms. A major feature of the book
is the combining of fundamental theory and practice across a wide
range of species and applications.
Guide to the Preparation, Use and Quality Assurance
of Blood components (10th edition, 2004)
http://book.coe.int
Council of Europe Publishing, Strasbourg, France
Annually updated; This guide contains a compendium of measures designed
to ensure safety, efficacy and quality of blood components and is particularly
intended for all those working in blood transfusion services. It describes
the different blood components and gives information on their clinical
indications and possible side effects. This guide continues to be the
"golden standard" for blood transfusion services and forms
the basis for many national guidelines in Europe and outside. During
the preparation of this 10th edition, the Council of Europe and the
European Commission worked closely together to ensure that the requirements
under Article 29 of the European union Directive 2002/98/Ec were compatible
with the ones of this guide. More specifically, Chapter 1 on the selection
of donors and Chapter 22 on blood group serology have been completely
reworked.

Cellular Therapy: New Frontiers in Transfusion Medicine
(2002)
https://portal.aabb.org/apps/marketplace/product.aspx?id=023030
Sacher RA (ed.); AABB, Bethesda, MD, USA
This book provides a description of new therapies that involve hematopoietic,
somatic, mesenchymal and dendritic cells. Also addressed is the ability
of these concentrated or enriched stem cells to differentiate into different
tissues. This phenomenon, termed plasticity, may allow us to enter a
whole new field of cellular expansion, differentiation and tissue engineering.
The capability of these cells to evolve and differentiate into nerve
tissue, heart muscle and connective tissue types is a reality. - Typical
perspectives of a more "cellular" view of transfusion medicine.
However, the terms "cryopreservation" or "freezing"
do not even show up in the alphabetical index of the booklet …
(137 pages).

Animal Life at Low Temperature (1992)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0412403501
Davenport J; Kluwer, Dordrecht, The Netherlands
This book is concerned with the behavioral, physiological and biochemical
responses of animals to cold, including details of anatomical adaptations.
It draws together the results of recent research into topics such as
hibernation, antifreeze in fish, the evolution of warm-bloodedness and
the importance of cold to evolution and extinction. The book opens with
a chapter devoted to the basic concepts of the chemistry and physics
of low temperature, the biochemistry of heat production and the categorization
of animals such as ectotherms and endotherms. After describing current
and past temperate and arctic environments the chapters go on to describe
the behavior, anatomy and physiology of animals exposed to cold conditions.
Cryobiology is dealt with in detail including the functions of fish
antifreezes, thermal hysteresis proteins and cryoprotective agents.
There is a large section devoted to humans, essentially tropical apes
that have successfully colonized cold regions of the world by behavioral
and technological means. Finally the author addresses low temperature
as an agent of evolutionary change including mutation and recombination
rates. For undergraduates and research workers.

Fuller, BJ; Grout BWW (eds.) CRC Press, Boca Raton, USA
This book presents a 1991 state-of-the-art summary of the applications
of low temperature to clinical situations, together with details of
the underlying principles of biology. It provides specific information
for the clinicians and research workers in a number of areas of current
interest and attempts to provide a unifying theme of cryobiology of
interest and value to those researching a clinical problem. Specific
topics discussed include the effects of low temperatures on mammalian
systems in the absence of ice and how the changes can be modulated to
achieve desired results; low temperature storage of tissues and organs
for transplantation in the liquid state; the effects of whole body hypothermia
in man and how it relates to mammal hibernation; problems associated
with ice formation and the subsequent freezing of cells and tissues;
cryopreservation of blood cells, reproductive cells, and tissues, such
as the skin and cornea. Other interesting issues featured include the
developments in cryopreservation of large, highly-organized structures
and the destructive powers of ice formation in cryosurgery of diseased
tissues.

Kurz W; Fisher DJ; Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0878498044
This textbook presents a picture of the majority of solidification phenomena
which control the formation of microstructures. Solidification phenomena
play an important role in many processes used in a wide range of fields,
from production engineering to solid-state physics. Simple models have
been developed to attempt to aid understanding of this complex subject.
In this text there are a broad range of solidification models to look
at, from large tonnage of continuously cast products, through superalloy
precision casting, to high-purity single crystals. This book is useful
for students and experienced engineers alike, (4th edition is the latest,

Cold is the single most important enemy of life, and this book 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.
