just starting to read en learn more about this theory.
Five Elements and Ten Stems: Nan Ching Theory, Diagnostics and Practice (Paradigm Title) by Paradigm Publications (MA) A modern classic
This is a great book for people who want to know more about 5 phase acupuncture. I have owned this book for about 3 years, and have gone back to it over and over. Each time I pick it up, I find something new. While some "cookie-cutter" approaches to 5 phase styles are presented, there is also enough theoretical meat to keep the reader interested. Great book to have in your collection!
Five Elements and Ten Stems: Nan Ching Theory, Diagnostics and Practice (Paradigm Title) by Paradigm Publications (MA) OK, I'd rather not buy.
I was very disappointed by Extraordinary Vessels, but this one is a-OK. However, the Style of writing is again all too confusing. Does not really explain the fundamental of acupuncture concisely way. Lack of translations of each Chinese/ Japanese characters would not really help. I do not recommend for students of acupuncture.
Five Elements and Ten Stems: Nan Ching Theory, Diagnostics and Practice (Paradigm Title) by Paradigm Publications (MA) So so book
Somewhat a better book than Extraordinary Vessels, but still failed in explaining the basic acupuncture philosophy. Too many quotes from too many different classics. Failure to provide Chinese and Japanese characters and the lack of clear translation of each of the words do not really help readers to understand the essence and fundamental. It could have been a better book, but it is not.
Five Elements and Ten Stems: Nan Ching Theory, Diagnostics and Practice (Paradigm Title) by Paradigm Publications (MA) Great book!
This book explains the five phases(as in the chinese classics) in a very understandable manner. It is much more comprehensive than many other books on the same subject. Highly recomended...
Five Elements and Ten Stems: Nan Ching Theory, Diagnostics and Practice (Paradigm Title) by Paradigm Publications (MA) Book Description
In this essential text, the authors explore concepts from the Su Wen, Ling Shu and Nan Jing to bring us a view of ideas that flowered in an age rich with Chinese medical history. They discuss the philosophical and theoretical development of the five-phase system, in particular the relationship of five phases to the I Ching, Tao Te Ching, and other classical Chinese texts, then present the correspondences that a practitioner can apply to the problems of diagnosis and treatment. The diagnostic section is a complete and practical discussion of technique, including pulse, body type, visual diagnosis, and hara or abdominal diagnosis. The treatment section describes basic exercises, breathing techniques, treatment principles, and techniques from eminent classical texts. Modern treatment protocols are presented in clear, easy to use tables. It is one of the best sources of technique currently available and it reaches beyond technique to the art of healing.

On Software Design: Consistently Inconsistent Michael Dupuis: “At first blush, you’d look at these two sets of applications and determine that ‘Aqua apps run to the window edges, and Metal apps have borders.’ But herein lies one of the many inconsistencies. While this is true in general, Apple’s Safari (Metal) throws this paradigm out the window and runs its elements to the window edges. DiskUtility however uses the default Aqua theme and has borders.” Mon, 25 Oct 2004 06:55:58 GMT

Why Scripting Languages Matter Tim O’Reilly: “Unlike applications from the previous paradigm, web applications are not released in one to three year cycles. They are updated every day, sometimes every hour. Rather than being finished paintings, they are sketches.” Thu, 15 May 2003 00:09:38 GMT
