1. Lectures On Violence, Perversion And Delinquency
A collection of lectures that examines violent and deviant conduct from psychological, social and legal perspectives, weaving together clinical observations, historical and case examples, and theoretical discussion to explore how societies define and respond to perversion and delinquency; it considers individual psychopathology, family and socioeconomic roots, and cultural influences, critiques institutional responses (medical, legal and educational), and advocates for nuanced, evidence-based approaches that balance public safety, accountability and possibilities for treatment or rehabilitation.

2. The Mongols
A concise narrative history tracing the rise of the Mongol peoples from steppe nomads to imperial rulers under Genghis Khan and his successors, examining their military strategies, administrative innovations, and policies of religious tolerance and trade promotion that reshaped Eurasia. It covers major campaigns across China, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, the establishment of administrative structures and communication networks, and the cultural and economic consequences of Mongol rule, arguing that their impact was transformative rather than merely destructive. The book also addresses the empire's fragmentation, the adaptations of successor states, and the enduring legacies in commerce, diplomacy, and cross-cultural exchange.
