This book reads easily and explains the majority of content in a manner easy to understand for people not familiar with chinese medicine. Strong points are: Chinese philosophy, e.g. Ying Yang, 5 Elements. Good introduction to Zang Fu and the meridians.
However, it lacks a little depth in certain VITAL TO UNDERSTAND areas. I would have hoped certain aspects of TCM in more detail, for example the creation and circulation of the vital substances, e.g. Qi, Blood, Jing, and the entire Fluid Metabolism from a TCM perspective. These areas are lacking information and are not very helpful fro anybody wanting an introduction.
