Title: Acupuncture, Meridian Theory, and Acupuncture Points
Category: Doctor Education
Author: Li Ding
Publisher: Pacific View Press
3011 Action
Berkeley, CA 94702
(510) 549-4213
Publication: 413 pages, hardcover
Acupuncture is something I know precious little about and my
approach to this book is from the perspective that I have referred
patients for acupuncture with excellent results but have no
personal experience either as a practitioner or patient. Without
specific knowledge that would allow me to comment on the contents
of the book, I've confined my comments to the quality of the book,
its layout, diagrams, and presentation.
The table of contents is very helpful. The book is divided into
five chapters, each with subsections. The chapter titles are: 1)
Generalization of the Meridians; 2) Generalization of the Points;
3) The Three Yin Meridians of the Hand; 4) The Three Yang Meridians
of the Hand; 5) The Three Yang Meridians of the Foot; 6) The Three
Yin Meridians of the Foot; 7) Du and Ren Meridians.
There are two appendices, "Extra Points" and "New Points." The book
appears very thorough and professional. I welcome any reader who
has knowledge of acupuncture to write me with their opinion its
contents. I will publish a summary of comments in a future issue.

Title: My Report of Findings
Category: Practice Building
Author: William Esteb
Publisher: Orion Associates
Distributor: Back Talk Systems
2845 Ore Mill Drive
Colorado Springs, CO 80904
(719) 633-1105
Publication: 229 pages, softcover
Hot off the press is William Esteb's new book, My Report of
Findings, a follow-up to his earlier book, A Patient's Point of
View.
I've only had time for a cursory look at the book, but it is full
of great information. There will be a full review of My Report of
Findings in a future issue. The more familiar I become with the
work of Back Talk Systems, the more impressed I am.
