This special publication is the latest in a long line of books by Robert Scalapino, founder and former director of the Institute of East Asian Studies. In this work, he describes his career spent studying Asian nations while he highlights the extraordinary experiences he had during his travels throughout Asia. He also outlines his observations on several Asian nations, most notably Japan, China, and the two Koreas, and presents his expectations and hopes for their futures. In the course of recounting his forty years at Berkeley, spent during a period of major social change in the United States, he details his adventures in teaching on campus during the Vietnam War. These memoirs bring to life Scalapino's personal recollections of family and friends at home and abroad, with many an amusing tale. The book ends with cautiously optimistic reflections on our times.
