5.0 out of 5 stars A fundamental book for Chinese Medicine study, November 9, 2007
This review is from: Nan-ching--The Classic of Difficult Issues (Comparative Studies of Health Systems and Medical Care) (Hardcover)
The Nan Jing is a fundamental book in the study of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
A lot of books of TSM were translated, but often the translation is not correct or definitively wrong or bizarre.
In this case we have a monumental work with a unique coincidence of positive situations.
The author of the revision is Paul Unshuld, a giant of the study of TCM.
Absolutely no doubt on the knowledge of the language and the understanding of the text.
The original text is present in the book and Paul added the main commentary at the text written by the most famous studious of TCM of all ages.
If you love TCM and you want to understand all subtle questions of this fine art, this is a book you must have.
A concentrate of Chinese TCM, language and culture like no other book.

5.0 out of 5 stars essential reading, April 22, 2006
This review is from: Nan-ching--The Classic of Difficult Issues (Comparative Studies of Health Systems and Medical Care) (Hardcover)
This book is the most profound, deep work that has ever been done on this book. As practitioners of Chinese medicine we allways read and give attention to the two books of the Huang Ti Nei Ching,the Su Wen and the Ling Shu. The nan Ching is a must for every Chinese Medicine practitioner. This book gives many aspects that made me think again on theories and practical aspects that I use every day as teacher and practitioner.
It is pointless to mention the vast knowledge and contribution that Pro. Unsculd bring to the field, saying that it is allways has been great to read his books.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must for all TCMers, April 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nan-ching--The Classic of Difficult Issues (Comparative Studies of Health Systems and Medical Care) (Hardcover)
what i like about this particular version is:
1) it includes the original chinese text
2) the commentaries are a compilation of different authors' explanations
3) and it includes a critics point of view as well.
the author stands in a neutral ground which allows one to make up his/her own mind.
