Reviews
"Despite its title, the book is not so much about therapeutics and human performance as 'multiple working hypotheses' for understanding this practice. Thus it is designed not so much to convince as to inquire and stimulate creative thought. A such, it is admirable as a piece of experimental writing" David Mayor, European Journal of Oriental Medicine
