About the Author
Alex Holland is an acupuncturist, teacher, musician and composer. He was one of the first graduates in 1985 from the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Seattle and has been instrumental in the Institute's continued growth and development. He was the Institute's Academic Dean from 1992 to 1996 and former Chair of the Board of Directors. He spent time in Chongqing, China in 1985, working at the Chongqing Research Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He currently lives in a woodland hideaway with his wife, Linda, and three cats in the Victorian seaport of Port Townsend, WA, where they operate Peninsula Acupuncture Clinic. He divides his time between practicing acupuncture, music, teaching and exploring healing through energy medicine and expanded conciousness.

5.0 out of 5 stars An abundance of information for such a slim book, March 22, 2001
This book is a little gem. It sets out the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the theoretical framework and types of treatment (acupuncture, acupressure, moxibustion, cupping, herbal medicine and Qi gong) in an amazingly easy to understand way. It also includes additional information on the history of TCM, accreditation in the US, and safety aspects. If you want to get to grips with what TCM is all about, but don't want to be bogged down with a tome, this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent quick reference for any busy professional., August 7, 1999
By A Customer
Voices of Qi is a pleasant way to obtain a great deal of TCM information in a short amount of time. Mr. Holland has the skills and talent to present some very new ways of thinking in some very familiar ways of thought. The book bridges the Eastern concepts with the Western mindset and does so with ease. With the rise in public and private interest of acupuncture this book should be read by all. It is one of those books that makes one say, "I wish I could write like that". Also, the book has very beautiful illustrations and design from cover to cover. I highly recommend and suggest this book for everyone, from M.D.s to massage students.

5.0 out of 5 stars A FANTASTIC GUIDE TO TCM, May 10, 2003
By Vanessa "musicaleyes9" (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
  
This book pulled me in the moment I opened it. It is incredibly easy to read and is a very good introductory guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine. I would recommend it to anyone who is curious about TCM but does not want to read large books on the topic. This book is written without lots jargon or unnecessary details. It is easy to follow and understand.
Read it, you won't regret it, especially if you are a beginner such as myself.
