Love this book! The brighter colors and and white pages make all the difference in the world for this book! As opposed to the previous edition, makes for a much easier read on the eyes.....All the same amazing information and then some! A must have!!!
major improvement in layout from other editions-better type, nice colors that divide sections. Pricey, but glad I got it to study for Boards.I don't necessarily agree with all, and annoyed that Boards are TCM that are open to interpretation. That being said--a must for licensinguntil such time as revamping back towards Classics.
This book is the bible of acupuncturist, the book came in excellent condition, really protected.I was looking for this one and is the cheaper price, buy it.It was faster than barnes & noble and cheaper
A required text book for a class. So far, I am very very happy with material, written in ways I can follow and understand.
I really love this book. It has everything you need for the beginner to the advanced. Great for boards, clinic and as a reference book! Namaste'
Clear. Explains very well the topics that your teacher may not explains well enough in class.
It is very dificult to try making a review of this kind of work . I just can say this new edition is very helpful in order to uinderstand not just the basis but a great knowledge of Chinese Medicine ( Please note I did not say Traditional ) . I am reading every page and at the same time refreshing the old edition and getting new ideas and a new perspective of Chinese medicine. This book is mandatory for Both medical and research purposes.If you agree, my recomendation is to develop an educational way to learn more easily syndromes that remain in the mind of the practitioner. I mean it is not enough read the syndromes again and again, it is necessary to find a way to associate the condition to the patient in real life and of course to find the best treatment. This comment is pointing to find the way of how apply this knowledge and not to discredit in any way this work.
Giovanni Maciocia is the godfather of eight principle TCVM, and this text is an outstanding place to start you journey into the basics of Chinese medicine.
