Review: N. Ross Reat seems to have accomplished the impossible: a one-volume survey of Buddhism that is accurate; inclusive and readable. In an excellent narrative that links facts and ideas over three millennia; Buddhism: a History begins with four chapters on the background; inception and development of early Buddhism; then moves on through nine individual chapters on Buddhism in each of its major geographic locales; from Sri Lanka to Japan and even the West. A valuable work for student and casual reader alike.
