Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold history of automobile air conditioning; how a group of Texas pioneer companies, such as: A.R.A., Mark IV and Frigikar, gave sweaty, southern drivers what they could not get from Detroit - a cool, comfortable ride. It took eight years after the close of World War II for Detroit to come out with factory air. It took only two years for these three Texas companies to enter the market, and by 1953 has installed over 10,000 after-market (add-on) units. These three gave birth to an industrial cluster, in and around Dallas and Fort Worth, that at one time included over 30 manufacturers, service companies and suppliers. The activity of this cluster continued for five decades, against Detroit's promise to bury them in five years, peaked around 1995 with shipments of over1.3 million units, and is still active. Dallas and Fort Worth is home for world-class companies in the auto air conditioning field such as Sanden, A.R.A, 4-Seasons and Victory Climate Systems; all of whom can trace their lineage back to the original three. This book is not a 'How to Do It' book. It is an entertaining story about dedicated pioneering 'Davids' battling the Detroit 'Goliath' with a strange mix of collaboration, camaraderie and competition. 166 pages, 129 photos and illustrations.

Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer’s assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He’s blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • This inspiring, exquisitely observed memoir finds hope and beauty in the face of insurmountable odds as an idealistic young neurosurgeon attempts to answer the question What makes a life worth living? NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST MEMOIRS OF THE DECADE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • People • NPR • The Washington Post • Slate • Harper’s Bazaar • Time Out New York • Publishers Weekly • BookPage Finalist for the PEN Center USA Literary Award in Creative Nonfiction and the Books for a Better Life Award in Inspirational Memoir At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,” as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything,” he wrote. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can’t go on. I’ll go on.’” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both.
