[Alexander · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book offers a solid if abbreviated introduction to Taoism. It covers the biggest figures and texts of Taoism in a limited way. More interesting was it's inclusion of the layout and activities to be found in a Taoist temple, as well as the different holidays that Taoists celebrate. If you know nothing about Taoism and want a brief primer on this religion, this book will meet your needs.

A nice basic introduction to Taoism. Has a few pictures, glossary, and a chronology, which were nice but a bit small.
