An Introduction to Macrobiotics, April 26, 2000
This review is from: Introduction to Macrobiotics (Mass Market Paperback)
An Introduction to Macrobiotics is exactly what the title says. This book is a very basic overview of how a macrobiotic follower views the world and includes brief biographies on the Japanese group of people who are responsible for the reintroduction of the macrobiotics lifestyle into the modern world. The book is very easy to read and only briefly touches on the different components of a macrobiotic lifestyle. The introduction to the Yin and Yang aspects of the world in general and food in specific was easy to grasp. Where Ms. Heidenry could have expounded was the concept that she alluded to a couple times of the centering of the diet around grains. This book would probably be a great prerequisite for Ms. Heidenry's book, Making the Transition to a Macrobiotic Diet.
