Macmillan's work covers not only the familiar topics found in many existing titles on Buddhism but delves deeper. Some 250 experts have crafted scholarly yet accessible articles on nearly 500 topics ranging from rituals and practices to art and Western influence."--"Reference that rocks," American Libraries, May 2005 UR - http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0d9m2-aa UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip043/2003009965 .html ER -
