Marc Notes: Review Quotes: "Comprehensive, encyclopedic, and lucid, this book is a must for all practitioners of the healing arts who want to broaden their understanding. Readers interested in the role of herbs and foods in healing will also find much to learn here, as I have. . . . A fine work." --Annemarie Colbin, author of Food and Healing "Groundbreaking . . . Here at last is a complete and readable guide to Chinese medicine." --San Francisco Chronicle "Worthy and important . . . This book will be a valuable source for all those interested in combining the best of the East and West." --Deepak Chopra, M.D. "A lucid introduction to the subtle, strange, and eminently useful ideas and methods of Eastern medicine. . . . The authors transmit a unique understanding of the ways in which Chinese medicine enables us to know more intimately the particular nature of our humanity." --Ted Kaptchuk, author of The Web That Has No Weaver "Opens the door to a fresh new world of understanding your health. With the increasing demand for a layman's book on Chinese medicine, Between Heaven and Earth fills an important gap and has been a long time needed." --Dr. Gurusant S. Khalsa, president of the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine "I have read Between Heaven and Earth with great admiration and interest. . . . It is both encyclopedic in range and completely accessible to the lay reader. The authors have done the public an immense service." --Richard Selzer, M.D., author of Mortal Lessons " Between Heaven and Earth represents a remarkable blend of philosophy, medicine and history. . . . I learned a great deal." --Norman Cousins "A fabulous and important book . . . Well-written, profound, and practical." --Michael Tierra, N.D., O.M.D, author of The Way of Herbs and Planetary Herbology "An extremely thorough introduction to Chinese medicine." --New Age Journal Publisher Marketing: A "worthy and important" (Deepak Chopra) guide that demystifies Chinese medicine and explores the benefits of its three-pronged holistic approach "Comprehensive, encyclopedic, and lucid, this book is a must for all practitioners of the healing arts."--Annemarie Colbin, author of Food and Healing The promise and mystery of Chinese medicine has intrigued and fascinated Westerners ever since the "Bamboo Curtain" was lifted in the early 1970s. Now, in Between Heaven and Earth, two of the foremost American educators and healers in the Chinese medical profession break down this centuries-old approach to health. Harriet Beinfeld and Efrem Korngold, pioneers in the practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine in the United States for over eighteen years, explain the philosophy behind Chinese medicine, how it works and what it can do. Combining Eastern traditions with Western sensibilities in a unique blend that is relevant today, Between Heaven and Earth addresses three vital areas of Chinese medicine--theory, therapy, and types--to present a comprehensive yet understandable guide to this ancient system. Whether you are a patient with an aggravating complaint or a curious intellectual seeker, Between Heaven and Earth opens the door to a vast storehouse of knowledge that bridges the gap between mind and body, theory and practice, professional and self-care, East and West. |
