Corporate Social Responsibility: Failures in the Oil Industry
directly challenges the oil industry's claims of corporate good
citizenship, now widely advanced as part of a global public
relations initiative. The volume spans the industry's reach, from
the troubled waters of the UK offshore Continental Shelf, with its
horrendous legacy of the Piper Alpha oil rig disaster, to the
inhospitable shores of Newfoundland with its own tragic legacy of
lost lives; to the new frontier of oil corporate colonialism in the
former Soviet Union and the icy plains of Alaska. The central theme
of violations of basic labour rights and of health and
environmental protection standards will make uncomfortable reading
in the boardroom. It is equally essential reading for those who
seek to improve the position of workers and industries within the
oil industry's global reach.
This is an appraisal of current offshore industrial relations, and
safety regulations instituted after the 1988 Alpha disaster in the
North Sea. This text discusses the oil industry's attempts to
contain subsequent, unwelcome regulatory interference, and examines
the fraught history of trade unionism in the offshore industry, the
conflict over health and safety, and the sometimes brutal struggle
over union rights as the workforce attempted to achieve a
collective voice in the reshaping of the safety and production
environment. The authors conclude that, as yet, offshore safety has
been little, or not at all, improved.

Carcinoma of the lung is one of the most prevalent and aggressive
types of cancer, and rates of lung cancer are on the rise.? This
issue gives a comprehesive review of the most recent advances in
Lung Cancer.? Epidemiology, etiology, and prevention of lung cancer
is first discussed, followed by articles on pre-invasive evaluation
and management, screening, pathology and molecular biology.? There
is an article on the approach to the ground glass nodule.? Of great
importance is the revised staging classification of Lung Cancer,
which is discussed here in detail.? Articles on PET imaging,
interventional pulmonary, and functional evaluation before Lung
Resection are also included.? The issue then focuses on advances in
treatment for early stage lung cancer, hgih risk patients with
early stage lung cancer, advances in the treatment of Advanced
Stage Lung Cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer, and gene therapy for
lung neoplasms.
