STM publisher Springer Science+Business Media, Germany, and the Baptist University of Hong Kong (HKBU) have launched a new textbook series entitled Essentials of Chinese Medicine. The three-volume English language set is of fundamental significance for the subject. Spearheaded by the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and the School of Chinese Medicine HKBU, the books were co-written by 14 distinguished scholars from Hong Kong, mainland China and the USA.
The book series was initiated by HKBU with the help of China’s State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SATCM) and mainland institutions and organisations. The publication seeks to provide international scientists and students with essential, detailed information about traditional Chinese medicine.
The three-volume series has more than 1,500 pages introducing the theoretical basics, diagnostic methods and therapeutic practices of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the principles and practices of general healthcare and rehabilitation. It also explains the basic theories and methods of acupuncture and moxibustion. In addition to numerous illustrations of Chinese herbs, nearly a hundred herbal formulas, acupuncture meridians, and acupoints for clinical practice have been specified.
