Nicholas Tarling was one of the leading historians of South East Asia, and from 1968-1996, was Professor of History at the University of Auckland. This volume collects together some of Tarling's more philosophically inclined essays from the question of human dignity to the relation of the present to the past. Demonstrating a lively eye and keen insight, these essays are a testament to Tarling's range of interests, his skills as a historian, and his abiding concern for matters human.
