In my opinion, we can expect more of this. >about dietary prescriptions for the mongol royalty during the Jin-Yuan > dynasty. ``A Soup for the Qan: Chinese Dietary Medicine of the Mongol Era as seen in of the Hu Szu-Hui's `Yin-Shan Cheng-Yao' ' translated and commented by Paul Buell and Eugene Anderson, is hardcover, 715 pages, and presented in three parts: 1. Historical and Cultural Context, 2. Analysis of the Text, 3. Text and Translation. The main sections are followed by two appendicies, the `Materia Dietica et Medica' and the `Grain Foods of the Eary Turks.' These are followed by an extensive Bibliography and an Index. The Chinese text is presented in its original pages, including the illustrations. The Wade Giles transliteration system is used and the text is annotated with printed Chinese for names, texts, and medical terms under discussion; those familiar with Paul Unschuld's work will be comfortable with the terminology. The book is an investigation of Yuan era dietary medicine in its social and historical context. And, while Western Chinese medical practitioners will not find a highly rationalized presentation of traditional Asian dietary ideas abstracted and packaged for clinical application, they will find a very accessible exploration of traditional dietetics in the powerful and cosmopolitan Mongol court. This fidelity to the times gives the reader an understandable view of what likely influenced the thinking of Yuan era chefs and doctors. Drs. Buell and Anderson, state it thus: . . . what most impresses us in the YSCY is the degree to which Hu's medical ideas are not formulated in terms of Correspondence Medicine, or any other system. Hu was no slave to tradition. He drew upon folk belief and folk experience as well as Correspondence Theory in presenting his medical ideas. For example, Hu scores all major foods by heating/cooling category, and according to their effects on ch'i. He also discusses the effects many of them have on particular organs and anatomical parts, their role in humoral therapy. But, like other pragmatists of the Chinese herbal tradition, Hu also specifies which cannot be eaten together, which cure particular diseases or cause particular conditions, and which have magical effects. In other words, this is a book for those whose interest is understanding the native application of Chinese dietetic ideas in a known context. As such, it is accessible and often fascinating. It belongs in the libraries of schools specializing in clinical education, and on the shelves of persons whose interest in traditional East Asian dietary medicine and herbalism extends to understanding their traditional context. bob Paradigm Publications www.paradigm-pubs.com 44 Linden Street Robert L.

In my opinion, we can expect > more of this. Its always been kind of amazing to me how well the book seller can do compared to the publisher or the author in the sales of a book. Booksellers purchase a book at 40% off the cover price give or take, and then sell it at the cover price. That's more of a markup than the publisher gets, I think. Seems like the on-line discounters should be taking their price off of that 40% discount. They don't? You know, TCM book publishers is not an especially long list of people. What if you guys got together and chose not to discount your books to on-line distributors for less than you sell to physical booksellers? Is that anti-trust or something? -- Al Stone L.Ac. <AlStone http://www.BeyondWellBeing.com Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
