In this update of the 2001 English version of a pocket atlas published in German in 1999, 2005, and 2007, German physicians who practice acupuncture present a visual-didactic introduction to the major acupuncture points (Part I), auricular (ear) acupuncture points (Part II), and trigger points (Part III). The description of each point includes the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) terminology, Western anatomical nomenclature, exact location, indication, depth of needling, function in TCM, and clinical tips. Illustrations include color drawings and photographs. Many of the references are in German. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
