"In the beginning, and as a child of the Depression, Raymond showed his entrepreneurial spirit early by selling eggs from the family farm. On the cusp of his tenth decade, his interests and accomplishments in the fields of business, education, historic preservation, international affairs, land stewardship, the arts, and public policy are beyond description. Most would eventually sit back and smell the flowers, but not Raymond. He continues to challenge himself. His unquenchable desire to make a small difference will be his legacy." David Higgins, Director, Public Affairs, and investor ombudsman, "It has been said that every person on earth is only six steps away from contact with every other person. In Raymond Plank's case, I believe the degree of separation is much closer." -Rob Johnston, Region Vice President, Apache Corporation, "Sui generis, Raymond Plank is a force of nature and a force for good as he so compellingly relates in this memoir that is both a tale of his life and success and an insightful commentary on the 20th Century and beyond."--John C.

Synopsis
In the oil and gas industry, there are many exciting tales of wildcat discoveries. This memoir of Raymond Plank's methodical leadership in building Apache Corporation to a $50 billion global oil and gas company tells a more subtle and widely relevant story. Plank's parents instilled essential values that have served as his lifelong compass, his father urging him to "try to make a very small difference on behalf of others." Steeled as a bomber pilot in the Pacific, Plank graduated from Yale in 1946 and considered his business future. Invited to join his father's printing business, he chose instead to pursue an independent path. This book chronicles the innovations Plank brought to bear in the growth of Apache Corporation and his fostering of lifelong learning. It demonstrates that Raymond Plank has made a very meaningful difference in the lives of others.

- 2***0 (128)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping was quick, packaging was excellent, condition was acceptable as described -- binding loose but pages intact. I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!
- a***p (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque HC 1930 (#396258036329)
