title: Rebirth and the Western Buddhist (A Wisdom East-West booklet. Grey series)
author:  Martin Willson 
description: "Belief in reincarnation is one of the greatest cultural differences between Eastern and Western thought. In this essay-published as the first of a new series of Wisdom booklets-Martin Wilson presents arguments-devotional, scriptural, observational, logical, and scientific-for and against rebirth. This absorbing article is an excellent starting point, with its more than one hundred references for Westerners interested in delving into this controversial subject. (From book's cover).
