Could do better, October 17, 2008

As a first-year acupuncture student, I wanted to arm myself with all the help I could get. The Maciocia Channel of Acupuncture text was required, so I purchased the accompanying Cards because I felt I could easily take them with me and study in the subway, the gym, etc. First off - they are too big for that. Although they are beautifully made and spiral-bound, they are inconvenient to carry around because of their size and bulk. Second, it leaves out many very important Chinese names that in my school, at least, are essential to memorize while learning the channels and regions. For example, the cutaneous regions are labelled Greater Yang, Lesser Yang, but where are the very essential Chinese terms? I tried writing it in but the paper is so glossy that a Sharpie smears on the page. This set is beautifully packaged but not so useful - what has really served me this year is the Pocket Atlas of Acupuncture by Hempen and Chow - although it is in book form vs. cards, it is easy to carry around and has everything I need concisely organized for much less money.
