About this product
Product Information
It's Never Too Late to Top Your Personal Best. Both a riveting account of a life spent pulling off improbable triumphs and a report back from the front of the global-energy and natural-resource wars, The First Billion Is the Hardest tells the story of the remarkable late-life comeback that brought the famed oilman and maverick back from bankruptcy and clinical depression. Along the way, the man often called the Oracle of Oil shares the insights that have made him a legend-and describes the billion-dollar bets he is now making in hopes of securing America's energy independence. Sassy...breezes along...salted with earthy aphorisms. -Bloomberg Businessweek Boone's analysis of America' s energy situation is 100 percent on the money....The country should listen to him- now! -Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway Self-deprecating and audacious...overall, it's decidedly informative about the machinations of business. -Dallas Morning News A fascinating, eye-opening book by one of America's greatest iconoclasts and entrepreneurs. Boone Pickens' sense of daring and innovation has never been sharper. -Steve Forbes, president and CEO, Forbes Inc., and editor in chief of Forbes magazine

Always happy with the Nile's service. Whilst dispatch can take longer than others, books are sourced at a great price from locations worldwide and from prior experience I know to order in advance. I ordered three expensive textbooks for uni, two weeks later they were dispatched and the next day received - all earlier than expected timeframe. Packaged very well, books intact. Great seller, updated tracking and items as described. A+++
