Format:Hardcover
Brilliant. Full of interesting facts and opinions on a wide variety of subjects relating to health and vitality.
I have pencil marks throughout the margins of my copy, as its a book you end up referring back to alot, re: Food, tai chi and diet. I recommend it to anyone interested in Chinese health and all subjects connected. Plus it s a reassuringly big read - not one of these 200 page skim the surface books - but a great big volume deserving of the subject matter!

An absolutely fantastic book, very thorough and in depth whilst being accessible and comprehensible. I am a student of acupuncture and I found this book invaluable; it has proven to be part of the foundations of my knowledge as a TCM practitioner. I often wondered if it ought not to have mentioned a few specific acupuncture points but for a book of its size it does well not to over-reach its grasp and details the subject matters it does address very clearly
