Praise for this book
This is an exceptional book for at least two reasons. First, it succeeds in summarizing the entire sweep of Buddhism's historical development. Second, the authors manage to give readers an accurate summary of basic Buddhist teachings. An honest book all the way around. Highly recommended.
