The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine: A New Translation of the Neijing Suwen with Commentary Maoshing Ni
Shambhala, 1995
a solid paraphrase for the practitioner
While this book is sometimes criticised for its lack of scholarly style, it is important to realize that the writer is approaching a 2,500 year old work, the seminal theoretical treatise of Chinese medicine, from the point of view of a clinician. It is frankly not much easier for native speakers ...

Handbook of TCM Patterns & Treatments 1 review Bob Flaws
Blue Poppy Press, 2008
If you have the Giovanni book, the additional info is not worth the price
The book description is misleading:
"It includes many of the complicated patterns other English language TCM books leave out but which Western patients typically present. You'll also learn Bob Flaw's personal insights on the discrimination of patterns and their treatment based on his more than ...

Acupuncture: A Comprehensive Text 2 reviews Chen Chiu Hseuh
Eastland Press, 1981
A Voluminous (only slightly flawed) Mainstay
+ Great "all around" Book....
This book got short shrift in our education even though we bought in in the first year or two. It is essential for its coverage of auricular and scalp acupuncture (not to mention other imaging styles such as "nose acupuncture"). It also has a slightly different view of channel pathology symptoms ...
