《大漢雙城記——漢朝生活和思想的剪影》是對英國漢學家修中誠的英文著作Two Chinese Poets: Vignettes of Han Life and Thought(直譯為《兩位中國詩人：漢朝生活和思想的剪影》)進行翻譯的一部著作。英國漢學家修中誠以斷代文學《兩都賦》和《二京賦》為研究對象，將代表西漢的西都(西京，即長安)和代表東漢的東都(東京，即洛陽)進行對比，進而對兩漢體制的差異(包括世界帝國意識、人道主義倫理、孝道、教育機構等)以及班固、張衡兩位作者的先進性、局限性、思想異同等進行評析解讀，勾勒出了漢朝的時代風範和思想剪影，凸顯出中西比較的思維方法和問題意識。本書對於研究社會學和意識形態的人類學家及具有世界意識的史學家具有很強的借鑒價值，而且其中穿插都城的壯麗宏大、宮殿之奇偉華美、後宮之奢侈淫靡、商賈、遊俠、角抵百戲、嬪妃邀寵等比較學視角下的敘述，對於一般讀者也十分具有吸引力。

Due process, no matter how costly or inconvenient, was ‘one of the penalties of empire,’ he declared.Penalties of Empire explores how judges, juries, and lawyers strove to deliver justice during the 150 years when the death penalty was in force in Hong Kong.

Two final chapters discuss the decline of the death penalty after World War II, its suspension after 1966, and the controversies leading to its formal abolition in
