Recently reviewed by Gillian Nicol for the British Acupuncture Society, and published in their quartely journal, Acu.
“In writing The Reasoning of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Professor Song Xuan Ke aims to provide ‘a simple explanation of the tradition’, acknowledging the enormity of such a task in the preface. Remarkably – and in a book of under 200 pages – he manages to do just that”.
