Market value is set by investor behaviour ....but objective methods
of valuation are vital for accurate predictions of market
behaviour. What are the key issues facing the industry - and the
main points the analyst needs to look for when interpreting oil
industry accounts? Do the best prospects necessarily lie with the
larger and better-financed companies? How best can an investment
strategy be managed in the refining industry, with its conflicting
pressures of environmental controls and inadequate returns?
This unique and authoritative book has the answers to these and
many other questions, offering a series of benchmarks and
performance indicators with which to evaluate oil company shares.
An updated edition of a respected and established title, it remains
the only comprehensive handbook of its kind available, and will be
eagerly welcomed by corporate planners as well as investors and
analysts.

corporate plannersThe only book which shows how to actually value

The first contacts between Greece, the Aegean and India are thought
to have occurred at the beginning of the sixth century BC. There is
now evidence of much earlier indirect connections, starting in the
middle of the third millennium BC, but greatly diminishing after
1800 BC. These were initially between India with its Indus
Civilisation (Meluḫḫa) and the Near East and then finally with
the societies of the Early and Middle Bronze Age Aegean, with their
slowly emerging palace-based economies and complex social
structures. These connections point to a form of indirect or what
might be called ‘trickle-down’ contact between the Aegean and
India through objects, iconography and commodities, such as tin and
lapis lazuli, that formed this contact. This book views the Aegean
as part of a greater trade network, that includes commodities as
well as more recently discovered objects, which accumulated added
value as they fi rst built up a distinguished pedigree of ownership
in the Near East and Syro-Palestine. It was the natural extension
of trade between the Near East and India. In the Early to Late
Bronze Ages, India was an important resource for valuable and
indispensable commodities destined for the elites and developing
technologies of much of the Old World. Finally, the period after
the end of the Bronze Age to the time of Alexander the Great is
examined and particularly after the sixth century, when Greeks were
beginning to know about India. Within 200 years, India would be
known to scholar and non-scholar alike, including those who
witnessed the Persian invasions of Greece or who later became
Macedonian and Greek foot soldiers marching east.

This volume will look at the history of trepanation, the
identification of skulls, the tools used to make the cranial
openings, and theories as to why trepanation might have been
performed many thousands of years ago.
This is the first volume on the Late Minoan III Necropolis of
Armenoi in western Crete. To date two hundred and thirty-two
chamber tombs have been excavated. The necropolis is the most
important and extensive, and the only intact, cemetery that dates
to Late Bronze Age III on Crete. It was very rich in finds, which
include more than 800 decorated vases, significant bronzes, painted
larnakes, a boar's tooth helmet and a stirrup jar with a Linear B
inscription, and there is evidence for the remains of up to a
thousand individuals. The volume presents the background and
history of the site, describes and illustrates the most important
finds. Field surveys and a geophysical survey were carried out with
the goal of discovering the wealthy town which built the
necropolis, and this was accomplished. Catalogues of the Minoan
finds, and also the oft-overlooked Roman and Byzantine ones, from
the surveys are included. Chapters on the topographical and the
geological settings of the necropolis are presented, as well as a
proposed method for tomb construction, a potential metal resource,
and a chapter which discusses Armenoi, Western Crete and the Linear
B tablets from Knossos.
