Contemporary Chinese (Textbook 1) (Chinese Edition)

This college-level instruction series is viewed by many college Chinese professors as an alternative to the New Practical Chinese Reader series, as the format for instruction and the quality of the content can be considered comparable. Each chapter encourages Western students to develop the ability to communicate in Chinese social settings, as well as to read and write characters. The text layout uses Pinyin, simplified and traditional characters and English translation of dialogues, cultural notes, pictures and more.

The Foundations of Chinese Medicine: A Comprehensive Text for Acupuncturists and Herbalists. Second Edition

Review

‘This version remedies some of the shortcomings of the first edition and is now as near a complete exposition of Chinese medicine theory as could be presented in a single text. It is unlikely to be supplanted for years to come, if ever, and with Giovanni’s similarly seminal textbooks on clinical practice, diagnostics, gynaecology and obstetrics and tongue diagnosis, forms the bedrock for all practitioners of Chinese medicine in the West. ‘ Peter Deadman”The text is beautifully presented in two colours. A large number of clear illustrations and text boxes highlight the important points and aid readability. Learning outcomes are summarised at the end of each chapter. This is a well designed and easy to read textbook, which sources mainly from the classic Chinese medicine texts, including both ancient literature and modern books. It benefits from the author’s rich experience in clinical practice in the West and his training in China. An in-depth understanding of the

Chinese Medicine in Contemporary China: Plurality and Synthesis

January 3rd, 2010

Chinese Medicine in Contemporary China: Plurality and Synthesis (Science and Cultural Theory)

As a traditional healing art that has established a contemporary global presence, Chinese medicine defies categories and raises many interesting questions. If Chinese medicine is “traditional,” why has it not disappeared with the rest of traditional Chinese society? If, as some claim, it is a science, what does that imply about what we call science? What is the secret of Chinese medicine’s remarkable adaptability that has allowed it to prosper for more than 2,000 years? In Chinese Medicine in Contemporary China Volker Scheid presents an ethnography of Chinese medicine that seeks to answer these questions, but his ethnography is informed by some atypical approaches.      Scheid, a medical anthropologist and practitioner of Chinese medicine in practice since 1983, has produced an ethnography that accepts plurality as an intrinsic and nonreducible aspect of medical practice. It has been widely noted that a patient visiting ten different practitioners of Chinese med
