“Shake and shake the catsup bottle. None will come, and then a lot'll.” ―
Richard Armour
Sheltering in place? This may be a good time to catch up on some PennWell
classics.
TIP #1:
While you may know a lot about your particular part of the oil and gas
industry, it can’t hurt to brush up on other areas. PennWell offers a number of
books that can help.
TIP #2:
Even if you know everything about everything, some of your younger associates
might benefit from reading one or two of these books. You might want to suggest
that they interrupt their binge watching to do so.
Here are four to consider. And, bonus, they are all on sale at a discounted
price.
Nota bene, PennWell books (https://www.pennwellbooks.com/)
is now owned by Endeavor Business Media (https://www.endeavorbusinessmedia.com/),
which may explain why the PennWell classics are on sale.
