This book was a good review of meridians, their functions, relative interactions between each other, and various theories that apply. I graduated from a TCM school 14 years ago and it was good to have this refresher and detailed perspective. The only thing truly new to me was the discussion on palpating the channel to aid in the diagnosis and differentiation of illnesses. While most of the material wasn't new to me, I did appreciate the deeper discussion on how the theories apply, which ones are more useful under different situations. The style of the book works well. The topics are broken down by the meridian, the material is then covered, followed by questions posed to Dr. Wang and occasional cultural sidebar/story - which made the reading less dry. The sections on the extraordinary channels, the function of the SanJiao/ three burners - interstitial spaces/fluids, luo channels/connections and specific point pairs were most interesting to me. Several of the appendixes should have been just chapters as they are just as pertinent, but perhaps not as thoroughly written in the same style. Case studies are covered, but there are not as many as one might think to be found in an "applied" book.
Before reading the book, I thought it would be a good reference, but it really is something that should be read from the beginning to the end. There are only a few chapters that I will refer to on a regular basis, but probably will re-read the book in a few years.

So many secrets of the Universe in one book. HIGHLY recommended for practitioners of Chinese Medicine.

Tellement un livre utile et facile a comprendre. J'applique déjà ce que j'ai appris dans les 659 pages et je vois les résultats. Plein de théories sur la palpation des méridiens qui sont applicable facilement.

As a disclaimer, Jason Robertson is one of my teachers at the Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine. However, this is not enough to garner a five star rating. This book is a fantastic delineation of Chinese medicine, far better than Giovanni Maciocia's "Foundations of Chinese Medicine". He makes parallels to Western biomedicine to illustrate points to the reader, and includes visuals that help to further explain abstract concepts more fully. His interviews with Dr. Wang add a touch of the human to the academics, and help the reader understand more fully the collaborative nature of this book. It is universally admired by all my classmates, and I would highly recommend it for anyone seeking to grok Chinese medicine.
