Order the Cool Mavericks air-con book in time for Christmas!

As you are reading VASA content, there is probably someone in your life who would appreciate and enjoy their very own copy of Cool Mavericks, the only definitive history book of automotive air-conditioning, which in itself makes this a historically significant publication.

The subject matter is far from dry; Cool Mavericks is a fittingly entertaining tribute to the colourful characters who shaped the automotive air-conditioning industry and to the often-cheeky ingenuity that drove its success.

Beautifully printed in hardback coffee table book format, Cool Mavericks is cleverly designed so it can be both enjoyed as a whole or dipped into at leisure.

Read more about how its authors, Ken Newton and Mark Mitchell, described the content of Cool Mavericks and the process of researching it at VASA’s coverage of the Cool Mavericks launch during Wire & Gas 2024.
