This book represents the most definitive statement to date on the theory and application of this fascinating and obscure aspect of the channel system, the jing bie or channel divergences. "Travelling from the Inner Classic and Zhuangzi through modern Japanese masters to the work of Miki Shima, this is an interesting, provocative, and clinically relevat journey exploring some importatn, if under utilized, aspects of Oriental medicine. A worthwhile addition to any curious and thoughtful practitioner's library who is looking to expand their theraputic toolbox." ~ Daniel Bensky, D.O.

I bought The Channel Divergences (Shima & Chace) after reading a review elsewhere and felt I must comment on this book.This book is full of mistakes, typo's, and inconsistencies. My copy came with a sheet titled "errata" tucked into the inside cover (there's a typo on that sheet too). It listed about 10 major corrections in diagrams of the book. Mind you, this is a revised edition I bought and it still had mistakes.Then I started reading the book. Mistakes abound. For example, in the footnotes after chapter 8 (pp. 197-200) on Miki Shima's Approach, I found close to 100 mistakes, if not more! I couldn't help but think that if the author's are so careless (or lazy) to run a spellchecker on these pages, did they even bother to check the acupuncture points they listed for use in their method? I have no way to determine if they are correct or not.I complained to Honora Wolf of Blue Poppy, the publishers of this book, and she told me this book was "the low water mark" in their publishing. However, even she wasn't aware of the footnote mistakes! Honora was very kind though and told me she would send me a corrected version. I expected a new book but what I received was a cheesy patch job on the copy I had bought. ("Tacky" is another good way to describe this copy.) Blue Poppy's solution was to photocopy corrections onto label paper and stick them in the book.Even though the book has a disclaimer about mistakes and omissions, my personal feeling is that if you are selling a book this bad (and you know it) you need to recall it and replace it with a corrected version. After all, medical practitioners probably are trying the book's advice on their patients. (Hopefully they haven't hurt anyone.
