In this compilation of peer-reviewed papers, contributors review the latest research, new designs, innovative methods of construction and maintenance, and regulatory issues associated with cross-country and urban pipelines. The crossings of highways, railroads, bodies of water, and seismic areas with buried or aerial pipelines are featured. In addition, papers and case studies address risk assessment and safety, trenchless crossings, seismic and low stability areas, and materials. The Manual of Practice on Pipeline Crossings is then briefly introduced as a guide for engineers and owners of pipelines in the design, construction, and permitting of pipeline crossings.

The well-being of children represents a challenge not yet fully confronted and The Handbook of Child Well-being supplies its readers with a thorough overview of the complexities and implications regarding the scientific and practical pursuit of children's well-being. The handbook addresses the concept of well-being through an in-depth analysis of the perspectives and vocabularies of various disciplines such as, philosophy, theology, psychology and sociology. It covers important issues in child well-being and the problems of the general politics of well-being as well as the implementation of interventional programs and measures. In addition the handbook deals with the methods of measuring well-being for a scientifically grounded understanding and also for policy-making. The interdisciplinary set up of the handbook makes it a unique work that offers readers from a vast scope of child-related disciplines and professions a profound overview of the complexities and implications of the scientific and practical pursuit of children’s well-being.
