{"product_id":"my-life-as-a-landman","title":"My Life as a Landman","description":"This is the story of an oil and gas landman. It is one that begins with a childhood in the Philippine Islands that improbably segues into teaching high school in South Dakota and then leads to becoming a '70s traveling musician, long hair and all. When it became time to pursue a more sustainable endeavor, Gene began an apprenticeship as a landman, starting out one frigid winter in North Dakota. As he gradually learned the ropes, he turned his early experiences into a successful career in the oil business. The highs and lows, economic successes and failures, and the pure boom-bust cycles of the oil business are all chronicled here. Through it all, Gene's creativity and ability to laugh at life's absurdities--and there are plenty of those in the book--have sustained him. This is a classic American success story, one not to be missed.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1524688770\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1524688770.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lang, Gene  F.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
