Here is a book as I like them: small, concise and accessible. In short, this book explains the ideological foundations of Buddhism and the difficult concepts (emptiness, interdependence, compassion, ...) to Western minds! The brand promotes openness (which is always good to take!). A pleasant and informative read ahead. If I remark, this book, along with "Buddhism for Dummies", a great way to approach Buddhism. First step to walk and understand other more difficult reading. Very good reading!
