The Foundations Of Buddhism by Rupert Gethin
A clear, concise introduction to the historical development, core doctrines, ethical teachings, and practices of Buddhism, explaining central ideas such as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, impermanence, non-self, and dependent origination alongside meditation and monastic discipline; it surveys the formation of the canon, later doctrinal and institutional developments across different schools, and how these elements operate in lived religious practice, while also situating Buddhism in its historical and cultural contexts and addressing modern scholarly approaches to its study.
