Synopsis

Thomas Henry Lyon (1869–1953) was an important architect whose work has often been ignored, because he did not take up the Modernist ideas of many of his contemporaries. His work was also almost entirely concentrated in either Cambridge or the edge of Dartmoor. His contribution to the inter-War development of the Colleges of Cambridge was immense and often overlooked: this book seeks to restore his reputation.

 
The book restores to public consciousness the extensive architectural work carried out by Lyon, particularly in Cambridge, and does not gloss over the disaster of a church in Wembley which had to be closed after less than 30 years. It also looks at the important work he carried out in South Australia in the pre-1914 age, as well as his masterly reconstruction and furnishing of Sidney Sussex College chapel, which established his reputation. It has been extensively researched in archives across England, but particularly in those of the Colleges of Cambridge.

The Millionaire in the Box: How Nissan's Carlos Ghosn Escaped Japan to Lebanon 
When success becomes a curse and achievement transforms into deadly enmity, witness the extraordinary tale of Carlos Ghosn—the Lebanese-born business legend who rescued two automotive giants from bankruptcy only to find himself trapped in an international conspiracy. 
From humble immigrant beginnings to becoming the celebrated CEO of both Renault and Nissan simultaneously, Ghosn was hailed as "The Savior" and "The Man with the Golden Touch." His revolutionary management style transformed failing corporations into global powerhouses, earning him manga fame and standing ovations in Japanese restaurants. 
But behind the boardroom triumphs lay a web of cultural tensions, political intrigue, and corporate betrayal. When Japanese authorities arrested the 68-year-old millionaire on fabricated financial charges, subjecting him to months of solitary confinement and psychological torture, Ghosn faced an impossible choice: surrender to a rigged judicial system with a 99.4% conviction rate, or risk everything in the most audacious escape of the modern era. 
This gripping audiobook reveals the shocking truth behind Ghosn's legendary escape—hidden inside a musical instrument box, crossing international borders while authorities hunted him. More than a business biography, this is a modern epic exposing the dark underbelly of corporate power, international politics, and the price of challenging established systems. 
Discover how cultural arrogance led to spectacular downfall, why the French government abandoned their citizen, and the ingenious planning behind history's most talked-about corporate escape. A tale that combines boardroom drama with airport thriller suspense, revealing how one man's refusal to accept injustice sparked a global diplomatic crisis.
