very interesting read
i read this book while i was studying equine shiatsu (we also covered human shiatsu) so, as this book is based on human acupuncture it wasnt all totally relevant, but i still found it an excellent book with regards to comprehending the five elements. it is a very easy book to read and i would recommend it to anyone studying acupuncture/acupressure/shiatsu,those struggling to get to grips with five element theory, or those who just have an interest in oriental medicine. the sort of book you could read several times over, and good to keep as a reference.

A wonderful introduction to the Spirit of 5 Element Acupunct
I really enjoyed this book. It captured a different view medicine and acupuncture, taking it from the purely physical treatment of symptoms, to a truly holistic picture of humans as an integral part of nature. The way the book is layed out makes it ideal for both students or patients of this form of acupuncture. Starting from what is seen in nature, it relates all aspects of the organs and the meridians to the way we think, the way we feel and our deepest yearnings. A great book!
