Reviews

[The Making of Modern Chinese Medicine, 1850-1960] present[s] a number of astute insights that promise to remain authoritative in the field for years to come ... Andrews's discussion of the advent of scientific acupuncture provides a sorely needed historical explanation for its contemporary survival and popularity. -- Howard Chiang * Journal of the History of Medicine *
