"This is a deep book which is considered one of the essentials for understanding the medicine taught at Bastyr University. It also has alot of appeal to the study of medical anthropology."
"I found this book particularly interesting because I've been to acupunture. It's a little too much like a textbook for casual reading, but it covers the differences between western and eastern medicine well."
