On History | Eric Hobsbawm

This a thoughtful series a of essays, academic papers, and lectures/speeches about the science and philosophy of historiography. Some of the middle essays are a bit intense because he discusses the intersection of writing history, economics, sociology, and anthropology. The beginning and ending sections are much more friendly to those of us outside academia. I found it a very worthwhile and inspiring read.
