Once in a great while an extraordinary book is published that sets an entirely new standard in its field. A Manual of Acupuncture, published by Journal of Chinese Medicine Publications, is just such a book. Painstakingly researched over many years by Peter Deadman, editor-in-chief of The Journal of Chinese Medicine, and colleagues Mazin Al-Khafaji and Kevin Baker, this book has become the primary reference in the West for the study of acupuncture points and channels. With the subtle use of color to illustrate the acupuncture points and anatomical features, the new second edition of A Manual of Acupuncture is even more attractive and user-friendly than the first. Introductory chapters describe and illustrate the channels and collaterals, the various categories of points, and methods of selection, location, and needling. Ensuing chapters present each of the points of the 14 channels as well as the extra (miscellaneous) points, identified by their English and pinyin names, and Chinese characters. Each point is located in accordance with the most exacting anatomical standards to be found in any Western textbook. For each point there is a dedicated drawing, followed by regional body drawings. The quality of the 500 drawings is far superior to those in any other TCM text. There are also practical pointers for finding and needling the points, and cautionary information about what to avoid. In addition to point indexes by their English and pinyin names, there is an index identifying every part of the body reached by each of the channels, and separate indexes of point indications listed according to both TCM and biomedical symptoms.
The best that's out there
| Customer Rating: | | Invaluable; nothing else out there more extensive and exhaustive. The study cards are a must-have for students; they have been a tremendous help for me in point location/memorization and there is nothing else like them in the market. Great acupuncture reference books are few and far between; this is the "premiere" reference. |
Good content bad binding
| Customer Rating:  | | I generally agree with the positive reviews of the content, save for the needle depths in some cases are possibly too deep. However, for such an expensive book, it should not fall apart in 3 months or less. The hard cover completely fell off mine and the book split in half. Other people I know have not had the same problem, but a high percentage of those books look like they will within short order. |
An excellent reference book
| Customer Rating: | | Every point on the meridian lines is given its own space with a description of the location and lists of all its functions.This is may be the book to have for all involved in acupuncture,shiatsu, acupressure and other allied therapies.If you want to know which points to use for a particular problem then all the information on this is here. |
A Manuel of Acupuncture
