In 'From Legend to Science' Ruan Jin Zhao tells how, as a young student, he had asked himself,' How can these simple leaves and twigs cure a disease? Thus began the author's exploration of Chinese medicine, the development of which he traces in depth. A marvel of the ancient world, it was holistic in its inception, ever mindful of man's position between heaven and earth. Never severed from its philosophical base, as was Western medicine, the Chinese traditional medicine emphasized balance and harmony within the human body, treating the body as an organic whole, with the over-arching Yin/Yang principle.
Editorial :
I'm going to follow some of the tips in this book and try to get my dad to quit it. But those who read Circle of Greed with an open mind may learn a little bit about one man's story, as well as a bit about the strengths and weaknesses of class litigation. I also agree this does need to change. Arana captures our sympathy most of all, as the child caught in the middle, who as she grows up, has to work harder and harder to succeed because being different is a liability in both hemispheres. A simpler presentation would have served the story better than a thesaurus-driven quest for the flavor of ancient times. The boy pays a price (castration) for his good fortune, but rapidly grows into his new role.
I wanted to like this book, but it wouldn't let me.
The author's enthusiasm is obvious, though the details gleaned from his background research often slow the pacing as much as set the scene. Readers who become distracted by authorial carelessness will find problems. T
