Información de la editorial

In 1825, an English Earl, crippled with pain and despairing of his usual physicians, invited a young and unconventional doctor into his home. Days later, the Earl was relieved, and the doctor rich. To celebrate his remarkable recovery, the nobleman re-named his favorite racehorse to honor the technique that cured him: "acupuncture." In an engaging account, Roberta Bivins vivifies the characters, texts, and events of acupuncture's (often surprising) 300 year history in Britain, and begins to explain acupuncture's enduring appeal.

Primera línea

In the 1840s with Britain teetering on the brink of empire, G. Tradescant Lay's pleas for a sensitive and receptive approach to what were rapidly becoming 'mere' colonial cultures fell on deaf ears.
