Ann Cecil-Sterman has been writing methodical clinicalámanuals assembled from her study of the oral tradition of Jeffrey Yuen and her own busy practice. This time, she focuses upon the topic of pulse diagnosis. She is clear andáconcise, providing a detailed approach to this method. The images contained hereináelucidate many areas that have long proven to be confusing for learners. Her years of work on these oral transmissions is to be commended. At long last, this tradition will beáavailable for generations to come.&mdash,William Morris, PhD, DAOM, author of Li Shi-Zhen&rsquo,s Pulse Studies, An Illustrated GuideAll holistic systems of medicine contain at their core a deep awareness that the humanábody consists of more than just fluids and tissue and bone.
