Negative Positive
Title: The Definitive Edition
Review: This is the definitive edition of this important classical Chinese medical text.Not reading Chinese, I can't comment on the sinological issues. However, I can report that this is an utterly complete edition with an enlightening 35 pages on the book's history and the historical reception it received. The annotations in this text are excellent.It also doesn't hurt that the University of California has published this in a large hardback format, nicely bound with a rock-solid binding.Indexed with a Glossary and -- remarkably -- over 50 pp of Chang Shih-hsien's "Difficult Issues" graphs.
Is the review positive or negative?
