Last year, I graduated from International School of Shiatsu in Doylestown, Pa. Prior to this school, I attended another Shiatsu school as well. Through both schools, this book was used as the main reference for me. I highly recommend this to anyone studying this wonderful art. It has all the detailed meridians, both standard and "Zen" and extensive info on the 5 elements. Buy it....you'll love it!!!

We use this for our Shiatsu textbook at The American Institute of Massage Therapy (...). It is easy to read and understand. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn the fundamentals of Shiatsu.

It is expensive. And goes quite deep. But if one is serious about learning Zen Shiatsu - this is The Book.
Great introduction into theory. Amazing discussion for each element and meridian - linking the emotional, physical and energy functions. Priceless comparison with the TCM approach. The language is rich, colorful and so easy and pleasant to read. I've been thinking about selling back some of my other ZS book and keep only this one.

I really appreciate this book. It is a very helpful study guide and it has a lot of interesting information on it. I can recommend it very much.

This is a great book for those practicing Shiatsu. It is much easier to understand then some of the other books out there. It is comprehensive and very thorough.

If you want to know about or practice Zen Shiatsu, this book has everything you need, with clear drawings and insightful text. CBC gives the practitioner all the information but also the correct attitude to approach each of the meridian pairs. This book can only enhance your understanding.

Carola Beresford's third edition of her wonderful book includes internet access through Evolve - I bought this book in June and immediately went on the website to investigate the resources. The experience was awkward and frustrating, my registration wasn't saved and the system made me go through the process over and over. I just checked before starting to write this review, and it's possible that it has been resolved. I was never able to find a satisfactory customer help site. In June I wrote to Carola, wondering if I was missing something, and she wrote back that she was frustrated also. As I said, it's possible now that the web issues have been resolved.
