Plus, who doesn't love a female superhero " Christina Shaver"As a patron and proponent of Acupuncture, I was interested in reading Jennifer Dubowsky's new book, Adventures in Chinese Medicine. Many of the current books on this subject are comprehensive guides that offer an encyclopedic, and often clinical, look at traditional Chinese medicine. While these have a place, Dubowsky offers a more personal, practical and readable look at thousands of years of Chinese medicine with a brief explanation of the history and timeline of advances and changes as well as terminology, techniques and usable applications for both patients and practitioners."
