This is an engineering book. However, it is a kind of engineering that is not well known by the general public: namely Applied Petroleum Engineering. It reflects our expertise in offshore well construction and the advanced know-how we achieved in Brazil, a long time before the euphoria caused by the discovery of the famous Pre-Salt reserves in 2005. We talk about the professionals who, for the most part, work on offshore drilling rigs, internationally known as Company Men. The Company Man’s work is unique, exciting and very important, especially when we see Brazilian creativity strongly contributing to the implementation of various achievements. It is not enough to be the “almighty” specialist of multinational companies when on board, the true light, the guiding light of the crew - for having a much more holistic knowledge of the activities in progress - but also to act with the humility of those who know that they will influence and motivate teams and establish with certainty that all their members are of fundamental importance for carrying out operations and achieving the well construction goals safely. The purpose of this book is to introduce to the new generations of engineers a brief idea of the fascinating world of Company Men, covering their daily lives on board and detailing several operations, equipment, and technical terms with which they must be familiar. In addition to many descriptions throughout the text, a Glossary is provided to define some terms in greater detail. We hope to captivate these young people and encourage them to continue a tradition: Brazil today is one of the most important players in the worldwide offshore industry, and holds its place at the knowledge frontline, not only due to its widely diversified operational scenarios but also, in large part, due to the technological and procedural solutions developed by Brazilians. Have a good journey offshore!

Regarded as one of the most important sociological and business commentaries of modern times, The Organization Man developed the first thorough description of the impact of mass organization on American society. During the height of the Eisenhower administration, corporations appeared to provide a blissful answer to postwar life with the marketing of new technologies—television, affordable cars, space travel, fast food—and lifestyles, such as carefully planned suburban communities centered around the nuclear family. William H. Whyte found this phenomenon alarming. As an editor for Fortune magazine, Whyte was well placed to observe corporate America; it became clear to him that the American belief in the perfectibility of society was shifting from one of individual initiative to one that could be achieved at the expense of the individual. With its clear analysis of contemporary working and living arrangements, The Organization Man rapidly achieved bestseller status. Since the time of the book's original publication, the American workplace has undergone massive changes. In the 1990s, the rule of large corporations seemed less relevant as small entrepreneurs made fortunes from new technologies, in the process bucking old corporate trends. In fact this "new economy" appeared to have doomed Whyte's original analysis as an artifact from a bygone day. But the recent collapse of so many startup businesses, gigantic mergers of international conglomerates, and the reality of economic globalization make The Organization Man all the more essential as background for understanding today's global market. This edition contains a new foreword by noted journalist and author Joseph Nocera. In an afterword Jenny Bell Whyte describes how The Organization Man was written.

But when he tries to break off from his controllers, he finds he's in way over his head, trapped in a world in which nothing is as it seems and no one can really be trusted. And then the real nightmare begins... From the writer whose novels have been called "thrilling" (New York Times) and "dazzling" (USA Today) comes an electrifying new novel, a roller-coaster ride of suspense that will hold the reader hostage until the final, astonishing twist. COMPANY MAN "A high octane thrill ride!" - San Francisco Chronicle on Paranoia Joseph Finder's New York Times bestseller Paranoia was hailed by critics as "jet-propelled," the "Page Turner of the Year," and "the archetype of the thriller in its contemporary form." Now Finder returns with Company Man - a heart-stopping thriller about ambition, betrayal, and the price of secrets. Nick Conover is the CEO of a major corporation, a local boy made good, and once the most admired man in a company town. But that was before the layoffs. When a faceless stalker menaces his family, Nick, a single father of two since the recent death of his wife, finds that the gated community they live in is no protection at all. He decides to take action, a tragedy ensues - and immediately his life spirals out of control. At work, Nick begins to uncover a conspiracy against him, involving some of his closest colleagues. He doesn't know who he can trust - including the brilliant, troubled new woman in his life. Meanwhile, his actions are being probed by a homicide detective named Audrey Rhimes, a relentless investigator with a strong sense of morality - and her own, very personal reason for pursuing Nick Conover. With everything he cares about in the balance, Nick discovers strengths he never knew he had. His enemies don't realize how hard he'll fight to save his company. And nobody knows how far he'll go to protect his family. Mesmerizing and psychologically astute, Company Man is Joseph Finder's most compelling and original novel yet.
