• Sommario/riassunto: There are very few books on the market that cover offshore petroleum engineering, and there are none at all on offshore pipelines. Over a third of the growth in drilling worldwide is expected to come from offshore. The development of offshore pipelines is an extremely hot topic in the energy industry. This book is the most up-to-date reference for the engineers and developers challenged with bringing the oil and gas onshore.* Pipeline design engineers will learn how to design low-cost pipelines allowing long-term operability and safety.* Pipeline operation engineers and

• Sommario/riassunto: Chinese accounting standards and practices are continuing to adapt to international market forces as the Chinese economy opens further to foreign investment. Chinese corporations are playing an ever more significant role in the global economy and the need to understand and interpret financial information produced by these corporations presents a continuing challenge to international fund managers and investors. Many Chinese corporations are now listed on international stock exchanges and have financial reporting obligations governed by non-Chinese regulatory authorities. The Chinese economy is
