The Essential Mystics: Selections from the World's Great Wisdom Traditions
AuthorAndrew Harvey
This is not an analysis of mysticism, it is a collection of primary sources grouped by the cultures that wrote them, with very brief introductions into each section.

The Essential Tao
AuthorThomas Cleary
ISBN0641535414
