Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Students gobble this little book up as soon as they see it. We can never keep it in stock whenever we take it to schools or conferences and symposia attended by students.
From the Author
One of the hardest things about Chinese medicine is the shear volume of information that needs to be committed to memory. When I was a student, I was frustrated by carrying around large textbooks and notebooks crammed with xeroxed copies, and I always wanted a little pocketbook of the most important acupoints. Although several of these have appeared over the years, they have usually not been produced professionally, and they have also tended to disappear after only a year or so. Therefore, I decided to create this little pocketbook out of a combination of my class notes from Dr. Tao and the Shanghai College of Chinese Medicine plus research in a number of other Chinese and English acupuncture books. In addition, I used a standard translational terminology (Nigel Wiseman's English-Chinese Chinese-English Dictionary of Chinese Medicine, Hunan Science & Technology Press, Changsha, 1995) to make the material in this book as linguistically accurate and cross-referencable as possible.

Small but beautiful,
This review is from: Acupoint Pocket Reference (Paperback)
A pocket guide that is well layed out and the print size is good so it's easy on the eyes. The contents page allows fast access to specific meridian channels. The diagrams and the explanations of individual points are neat, concise and an exellent aid memoire. Overall this publication is well worth its price.

Nice little carry along pocket reference book.
Reader should be somewhat familiar with the locations of the points but it served me well already when I flew to England recently.
