This is a great book, which covers many aspects of Theosophy under one cover. (I find the chapter on Theosophy throughout the centures to be particularly fascinating.)

Here is the description from the Amazon.com page, including a list of chapters:

“This work deals with the great renaissance of ancient Oriental Esotericism in the Western world in modern times. This book is an attempt to present a unified picture of the Theosophic movement in its larger aspects.

Contents:

Theosophy, An Ancient Tradition;
The American Background of Theosophy;
Helena P. Blavatsky: Her Life and Psychic Career;
From Spiritualism to Theosophy;
Isis Unveiled;
The Mahatmas and Their Letters;
Storm, Wreck, and Rebuilding;
The Secret Doctrine;
Evolution, Rebirth, and Karma;
Esoteric Wisdom and Physical Science;
Theosophy in Ethical Practice;
Later Theosophical History;
Some Facts and Figures; Bibliography.”

This book appeals to both Theosophical new-comers and long-timers. I highly recommend it.
