Eurasian
In the second half of the nineteenth century, global labor migration, trade, and overseas study brought China and the United States into close contact, leading to new cross-cultural encounters that brought mixed-race families into being. Yet the stories of these families remain largely unknown. How did interracial families negotiate their identities within these societies when mixed-race marriage was taboo and “Eurasian” often a derisive term?

Framing Europe
This book provides a major empirical analysis of differing attitudes to European integration in three of Europe's most important countries: Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

人間到處有青山：四大寇之尢列傳
與孫中山並列「四大寇」的尢列，出身廣東順德富家，本該過?優渥舒適的生活，然而他耳聞目睹清政府的腐敗無能、列強無止境的侵凌，義憤填膺，受時代的感召，毅然踏上革命一途，立下「志不成時誓不還」之宏志。以後為革命大半生飄泊，散盡家財，行蹤無定；又為親近百姓，懸壺濟世，宣揚革命思想；晚年生活貧困，需人接濟，惟仍憂懷國事，四出奔走，至死方休。 本書介紹尢列一生的足跡，也論其同時代人和他所身處的世界，特別是他與香港的種種關係。本書亦是尢列的家族史。過往有關尢列的研究甚少，一方面是尢列生前的藏書、文稿等不是毀於火災，便是早已散佚。另一方面是尢列一生低調，不慕名，不為利，對革命一直抱功成不居的態度，以往事跡亦不彰，故流傳至今的記載不多。本書嘗試多方面搜尋資料，排比考證，客觀地重構尢列的生平面貌。
Edge of Empires
