The Spark in the Machine: How the Science of Acupuncture Explains the Mysteries of Western Medicine de Dr Daniel Keown

The Spark in the Machine: How the Science of Acupuncture Explains the Mysteries of Western Medicine

Autor Dr Daniel Keown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mar 2014
This highly accessible, witty and original book shows how theories of western and Chinese medicine support each other, and how the integrated theory enlarges our understanding of how bodies work on every level. The author is qualified in both branches, so this has a strong scientific basis but offers an accessible and entertaining read.
