Chinese Acupuncture

Beyond a nomination for the Nobel Prize, universal recognition as the best, most detailed & practical of acupuncture books, George Soulie de Morant's L'ACUPONCTURE CHINOISE has proven itself through years of service to a generation of European clinicians. This English translation now available thus provides English readers with access to a work of proven historical & clinical importance, a book that is broadly regarded as not just the first but as the finest. George Soulie de Morant was the first European to argue for seeking & treating the cause of illness in a disruption of individuals' harmony with nature. He was the first to realize that an emphasis on the incompatibility of acupuncture with biomedicine would deny the West a potent medical art. He thus proposed hundreds of practical relations, anticipating modern Western & Eastern needs by showing how biomedicine could expand its clinical gaze to include the qualities & relationships discovered by generations of Chinese physicians. This text contains over 900 dense but readable oversized pages. It offers the largest & most complete exposition of the theory & practice of acupuncture in print. It is entirely based on, & referenced to, Chinese sources scholars know to be the epitome of Chinese clinical experience.Soulie de Morant, George is the author of 'Chinese Acupuncture' with ISBN 9780912111315 and ISBN 0912111313.
