The Silent Oligarch

The Silent Oligarch

Christopher Morgan Jones

PENGUIN BOOKS
2013
nidottu
"A happy partner to the work of Deighton, Archer, and le Carr ... carried on craftily understated prose that approaches cold poetry... a first-class novel." (Booklist, starred review) Racing between London and Moscow, Kazakhstan and the Caymans, The Silent Oligarch reveals a sinister unexplored world where the wealthy buy the justice they want--and the silence they need. The first novel by Chris Morgan Jones--after his eleven years of work at the world's largest business intelligence agency--The Silent Oligarch introduces Benjamin Webster, mercenary spy to the rich and powerful. Hired to destroy a Russian oil baron, Webster discovers that his target's weak spot is a diffident English lawyer who hides the money generated from his master's vast criminal empire. Soon Webster's questions cause the lawyer's fragile world to crumble, forcing them both into a desperate race around the world to escape the oligarch's vengeance. Christopher Morgan Jones's newest book, The Searcher, will be published by Penguin Press on March 22nd, 2016.

The Jackal's Share

Christopher Morgan Jones

PENGUIN BOOKS
2014
nidottu
"The novel is as much Raymond Chandler as John le Carr . . . Chris Morgan Jones has more than equaled his powerful debut." --The Observer (U.K.) A vivid and relentless tale of murderous corporate espionage, Chris Morgan Jones's The Jackal's Share follows the money through the rotten alleys of Marrakech and the shining spires of Dubai, revealing a Middle East as strange and raw as ever depicted. The story begins when Ben Webster, a London corporate investigator specializing in post-Soviet Russia, is hired by a wealthy Iranian philanthropist to clear his good name. Forced to investigate a man above reproach, Webster soon discovers that his master's past is actually a dense net of interlocking half-truths. As he closes in on the reality of the Iranian's fortune--and those who wish to destroy it--Webster learns he may pay for that knowledge with the life of his own family. Christopher Morgan Jones's newest book, The Searcher, will be published by Penguin Press on March 22nd, 2016.

Modern Japan

Modern Japan

Christopher Goto-Jones

Oxford University Press
2009
nidottu
Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products are consumed all over the world, ranging from animated movies and computer games all the way through to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. The aim of this Very Short Introduction is to explode the myths and explore the reality of modern Japan - by taking a concise look at its history, economy, politics, and culture. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

The Invention of Infinite Growth

The Invention of Infinite Growth

Christopher F Jones

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS
2025
sidottu
A history of how the pursuit of growth has kept us from creating a more sustainable and just world. Most economists believe that growth is the surest path to better lives. This has proven to be one of humanity's most powerful and dangerous ideas. It shapes policy across the globe, but it fatally undermines the natural ecosystems necessary to sustain human life. How did we get here? In The Invention of Infinite Growth, environmental historian Christopher F. Jones takes us through two hundred and fifty years of economic thinking to examine the ideal of growth, its powerful influence, and the crippling burdens many decisions made in its name have placed on us all. Jones argues that the pursuit of growth has never reflected its costs, because economists downplay environmental degradation. What's worse, skyrocketing inequality and diminishing improvements in most people's well-being mean growth too often delivers too little for too many. Jones urges economists to engage more broadly with other ways of thinking, as well as with citizens and governments to recognize and slow infinite growth's impact on the real world. Both accessible and eye-opening, The Invention of Infinite Growth offers hope for the future. Humans have not always believed that economic growth could or should continue, and so it is possible for us to change course. We can still create new ideas about how to promote environmental sustainability, human welfare, and even responsible growth, without killing the planet and ourselves.

Political Philosophy in Japan

Political Philosophy in Japan

Christopher Goto-Jones

Routledge
2010
nidottu
Political Philosophy in Japan focuses on the politics of Japan's pre-eminent philosophical school - the Kyoto School - and particularly that of its founder, Nishida Kitarô (1870-1945). Existing literature on Nishida is dismissive of there being serious political content in his work, and of the political stance of the wider school. Goto-Jones contends that, far from being apolitical, Nishida's philosophy was explicitly and intentionally political, and that a proper political reading of Nishida sheds new light on the controversies surrounding the alleged complicity of the Kyoto School in Japanese ultra-nationalism. This book offers a unique and potentially controversial view of the subject of Nishida and the Kyoto School.

No one knows who is to blame for the growing chaos. NASA cannot communicate with any of the astronauts on the ISS or on Mars. The astronauts are left to fend for themselves.Things are looking very grim for the people of Earth, the astronauts on the ISS and the astronauts on Mars. Can they survive and if so how?Mars Mission I: Surviving the Kessler Effect is a thrilling fictional story of what could happen when enough debris is created in low earth orbit to initiate the Kessler Effect.
