 the web that has no weaver April 14, 2008
Very good introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine. The autor explains very clearly the difference between Oriental and Western thinking.
 Still a Mystery to Me March 3, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
For the last several years I ended the winter with coughing fits and lung congestion, for which I sought and received the usual western remedies, which proved somewhat useful. But the congestion usually remains, with my coughing and hacking provoking my wife to nag me into seeing her herbalist/acupuncture practitioner, who invariably succeeded where my western medicine had failed. I finally asked the herbalist/L.Ac. to recommend something which explained the workings of Oriental Medicine, and he recommended this book. Although I'm now familiar with concepts such as qi, yin and yang, I find that, even armed with this book, I'm still mystified, and find I still must uncomfortably rely on simple belief that my L.Ac. knows what he's doing, since the logic of these treatment protocols still eludes me.
 Good book, but not for an introduction to TCM... December 26, 2007
With all due respect, this is NOT an "easy" read for the beginner!
I admit it, this book was also recommended for me before starting school, however I don't even think I completely finished it.
Too much info in such a small book! However, for the 1st year student, I would recommend it after 1-2 semesters.
However, this is one of the FIRST INTRO BOOKS written in the 70's.
Thank you for setting the course!
wonderfully written October 25, 2007
i am a physician just starting to learn about chinese medicine and specifically acupuncture. this book is a wonderful introduction, reads wonderfully
 TCM for Geeks September 12, 2007
Reading this book is like talking to a geek. If you enjoy conversations with geeks and learn a lot from them, this is the Chinese medicine book for you. If you tend to find such conversations confusing, dense, and boring, well, that's probably what you'll think of _The Web That Has No Weaver_ as well.
