Product Description This excellently designed Atlas of Acupuncture is easy to access and provides clear information on the full range of acupuncture points and main channels in a systematic and clear way. Each of these points combine anatomical drawings and photographs of surface anatomy. This acupuncture atlas not only provides beginners with an overview of the most important acupuncture points, but experienced practitioners can also learn about seldom used acupuncture points and thus extend their knowledge.

Simply One Word for this Book - OUTSTANDING!! This book is a model for what books of this type should be. Loaded with graphics, "see through" diagrams of points with underlying bones and other structures and beautiful detailed anatomical drawings showing underlying and nearby structures. Instead of long winded verbal passages filled with equivocal interpretations, meanings and verbiage, we have instead, detailed point location and palpation descriptions supported with the extensive and superb graphics. The only other book in its class is the beautiful work by Dr. Paul Quirico. Outstandingly good and a pleasant surprise in a field filled with overpriced hastily written and poorly written books. | ||
Quite a good point location atlas One of the strengths of this book, to me, is that it does NOT have all the "indications" and collections of symptoms that you find in Deadman's "A Manual of Acupuncture." Instead, this book helps you understand the energetic actions of the points, and the complex pathways of the channels, so you have some of the tools necessary for developing individualized treatments. Point location descriptions are excellent, and the diagrams and photographs are clear and accurate. Each statement is cross-referenced to other relevant sections of the book, with dozens of cross-references on each page. Coming from the German and French experience with acupuncture, this book owes a lot to Dr. Nguyen Van Nghi's lifetime of classical study, and he is mentioned throughout the book. While this is not a pocket lab manual, it has my vote as the current leader among point atlases. | ||
