Abstract
Though not a history book, this is the work of an historian and is written from an historian's point of view, explaining events against the background of the life of the times in China. It introduces each element of Chinese medical knowledge, each phase of its development in the light of the intelectual, social, political, and economic soil from which it sprang, and shows how the concepts of Chinese medicine were able to gain acceptance and how, despite its gradual evolution, its basic features remained stable for 2000 years. Aside from the wealth of information it contains about the nature and development of Chinese medicine, the author's view of the reception of Chinese medicine in the West is a major contribution to our understanding of alternative healthcare. - from Amzon
