Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The text is well written though the organization of the material leaves a bit to be desired. It covers a large body of information about massage therapy, acupuncture and AMMA well though it could be better indexed. The subject by definition follows the flow of nature while the text does not. The structure of the chapters could have a more evolving continuity. As an example point information is distributed throughout the text without an area for general overview. Masters can use this for reference well but beginners are at a loss to find the "meridians" connecting chapter to chapter. I look forward to the next edition.
