A good introduction - By: N. Savigar, 06 Aug 2006 
Have read this book as background before starting a coursein Traditional Chinese Medicine. Provides a comprehensive overview of the subject & a platform for more detailed studyin particular areas.
The Web That Has No Weaver - By: Lou Lou, 04 Aug 2002 I just started a coursein Acupuncture & was recommended this book. It's great for medical students like me who want to read about the scientific side of chinese medicine & how it compares with western medicine. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about traditional chinese medicinein a frank way. No hocus pocus writing.
A 'must-have' book! - By: , 05 Feb 2001 I have found this book to be an invaluable resource over the years & have come to it again & again, always finding something new!
A detailed intro' to the principles of Chinese medicine - By: , 22 Dec 2000 
This book met my needsin terms of depth where others I've browsed have failed to - but it might well be too deep for some readers who don't perhaps wish to be able to comprehend the finer points of pulse diagnosis or Chinese diagnostic patterns. It fails to say much about selection of acupuncture points - or of herbs - however it's strength isin how it gives an understanding of principles - especiallyin how they compare to those of Western medicine.
A bible for those interested in traditional Chinese medicine - By: , 16 Jan 2000 Ted K has trainedin both Western & traditional Chinese medicine & he is probably only one of a handful of practitioners round the world who can best explain how the two disciplines compare, what their strengths & weaknesses are & so on. If you are interestedin traditional Chinese medicine & want more than just an A-Z guide, this is the book to read (and I haven't yet seen the updated version!). Ted K knows his stuff!
