The Web That Has No Weaver : Understanding Chinese Medicine

The first half of The Web That Has No Weaver is a good introduction to Chinese medicine.   The author explains the basics of both the practice and philosophy of Chinese medicine.  The second half of the book, which I did not finish, was about the specific ways to examine and diagnose a patient using Chinese medicine.  While I enjoyed the first half of the book, the second half was a bit too much detail if you aren't planning on practicing Chinese medicine.
