Rating: 5
Summary: I like books like this...very easy and has every thing...
Comment: I like books like this in the medical aspect of acupuncture, it has every thing I need to know. Maybe it's price is too low to be real...I think it's a need for the serious student and for the old acupuncturist to remember the points and it's clinical relations on both western and eastern medicine.

Summary: The best acupuncture textbook in English
Comment: Fundamentals of Acupuncture is unique among English-language textbooks for beginning students in that it actually is a textbook, and it actually is written in English. Sadly, it has not received the recognition or application it so richly deserves.
Fundamentals was developed from a variety of modern and pre-modern sources, and seamlessly incorporates those sources into a coherent work that honors the past and imparts present-day acupuncture simultaneously.
This book clearly presents the foundations of acupuncture theory, including all aspects of the channel system, from primary, connecting, divergent, and sinew pathways to channel communications and extraordinary vessels. It describes a variety of needle techniques as well as moxibustion. Entries for individual points include functions, indications, both classical and modern instructions for location, a translated name, the Chinese name in characters, the Chinese name in Pinyin with tone marks, regional anatomy, insertion depth, stimulation methods, and where applicable, a description of acceptable qi sensation.
What most sets Fundamentals apart from similar books is its pragmatic orientation and inclusion of translated Chinese disease-diagnoses, with a useful glossary of terms. A large portion of the book is devoted to point selection, combinations, and therapeutic principles, all with an emphasis on real-life clinical applications. This is the only beginner's book to properly translate and give the meanings of disease-diagnosis terminology, which makes the specific character of each point and the structure of acupuncture treatments much easier to understand for beginning students. By comparison, other similar works have been so terminologically vague as to be useless.
If I could only recommend one acupuncture book to beginning students, Fundamentals would be it.
