books by Foreign Languages Press     books:       Mencius (Library of Chinese Classics: Chinese-English edition)9 reviews Mencius, Zhou Dingzhi, ... Foreign Languages Press, 1999 Mr. Mecius is super-fabulicius!!! What can I say? This book is probably the closest Chinese book involving the art of parallel-argumentation that a person will ever get out of a Chinese book. I love this book. Plus, Lau really adds desert by his five highly detailed appendixes. Way to go Lau!             The Atlas of Layered Anatomy of Acupoints1 review Gao Linghua Foreign Languages Press, 1999 Disappointing As a beginning TCM student, I was looking for a reference on the order of Worsley's (hard to find) Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. I ordered this "Atlas" sight unseen, and was rather disappointed. The plates are a bit small to be as precise as I would like, especially for the feet. The book is arranged according to body area rather than channels (which I find frustrating for learning purposes). ...             Journey to the West (4-Volume Boxed Set)31 reviews Cheng'en Wu Foreign Languages Press, 2003 Journey to the West I purchased this for my son for his birthday and I haven't seen his face since without one of the volumes in front of it. He absolutely loves it. I tried, unsuccessfully to find this set at other booksellers and as always when I need something, Amazon came through. Thank you for excellent service and availability. I look forward to many more purchases in the future.             The True Story of Ah Q (Chinese/English)2 reviews Lu Xun Foreign Languages Press, 2000 Absolutely masterpiece. A must-see work. The most well-known short works in China by the greatest writer Mr. Lu Xun in China's history. Try to ask any people from mainland China, I am sure 99% of them have read this story of Ah-Q. Ah-Q is the most famous character in China. This short novel reflects the status of the whole society in early 20th century, which was in the end of the last feudalistic Dynasty in China.             Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion11 reviews Foreign Languages Press, 2005 FIve Stars Seems a bit much but let me explain ... I have been training in TCM most of my life now. The thing about a lot of these transations is that people often make assumptions based on grammer ECT ... about what these books are worth ... my Chinese is OK ... but I don't have perfect grammar and most Chinese respect that. There is a bit of Chinglish in this book, but it is definately read-able. The books from the mainland are usually the ...             Three Kingdoms: Chinese Classics (Classic Novel in 4-Volumes)99 reviews Foreign Languages Press, 2005 Most fun I've ever had with a book. I'll be perfectly honest: I've never been one to actually sit down and read a book unless it's been marked required reading. In fact, my only fantastic literary claim up to this point was conquering the Harry Potter series. Then, I picked up these volumes. I was absolutely enthralled. I picked up this book because I'm a big of the Dynasty Warriors series. In fact, I just recently discovered ...             Eating Your Way to Health: Dietotherapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine Cai Jingfeng Foreign Languages Press, 1996 In traditional Chinese medicine the prevention and treatment of diseases by taking common foodstuffs is called "dietotherapy" or "medicinal foods." Dietotherapy is a gem in the treasure house of Chinese medicine. For countless generations it has shown forth never waning. Chinese dietotherapy originated among the common people. Through the ages this wisdom has been distilled and improved by doctors, and handed down from ancient times. There are ...             From Emperor to Citizen: The Autobiography of Aisin-Gioro Pu Yi7 reviews Pu Yi Aisin-Gioro Foreign Languages Press, 2002 Pu Yi my life Pu Yi Last Emperor of China, his life, and his death.Considering that the book is a translation I think it was very well written,bringing out the past,the present and what happened to Pu Yi at the end of his life.The book is very easy to read considering that it is an autobiography.It has many black and white pictures. This book encouraged me to trace the life of Pu Yi which I was lucky to ...             Outlaws of the Marsh (Chinese Classics 4-Volume Boxed Set) [BOX SET]23 reviews Foreign Languages Press, 2001 Full of adventure, will keep you reading! I couldn't believe this story was written in the 13th century! The structure read like a modern novel. You won't be disappointed with the adventures that these characters get into. It is also a nice insight into ancient Chinese thought about political legitimacy and virtue. While very gory at times, this book really shows you how the ancient chinese thought. The morals are also applicable to ...             Acupuncture, Meridian Theory and Acupuncture Points3 reviews Li Ding Foreign Languages Press, 1991 Acupuncture, Meridian Theory, and Acupuncture Points This is the definitive book on the subject of acupuncture and will also be of use for those who practice acupressure and pressure points in martial arts. The book is invalueable- it provides the means of finding points in a simple and understandable way without alot of professional jargon. Another suggested book for martial artists would be The Layman's Guide to Acupuncture by Yoshio Manaka, ...             Traditional Chinese Costumes Yuan Jieying Foreign Languages Press, 2002 Author: Yuan Jieying, Order No. 3066, ISBN: 7119030582, Binding: Hardcover, Publisher: Foreign Languages Press, Pub Year: 2002, Pages: 108, Language: English-----Clothing of emperors, empresses, government officials, warriors, upper-class and common people.             Little Sisters of the Grassland1 review Anonymous Foreign Languages Press, 1973 Interesting bit of Chinese Propaganda This book was apparently a bit of a curiosity for Westerners back in the 70's. I remember looking through it as a child, and as an adult looking back and seeing just how propagandistic it was! (Not that American cartoons were free of propaganda in say, the 1940's, wow!). The story is enchanting enough, of two little sisters that brave the cold and hardship to secure their flock of sheep in the ...             Standard Meridian Points of Acupuncture: Charts1 review Institute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Foreign Languages Press, 2000 Meridian Points of Acupuncture If you are looking for a detailed description of acu points and are trained in the US perhaps this is not for you. These are the most affordable posters that one can buy. For others one expects to pay >$60. It illustrates all 14 meridians, and extra points(EX). It nicely lists the names in PinYin with tones so the LACs can pronounce them properly. It also has the Traditional Chinese names. ...             Self-massage Along Meridians & Acupoints Wang Chuangui Foreign Languages Press, 2002 Author: Wang Chuangui, Order No. 5079, ISBN: 7119023764, Binding: Paperback, Publisher: Foreign Languages Press, Year: 2002, Pages: 223, Size: 7.5x10.5, Language: English-----A guide to self-message with various illustrated methods to prevent and treat diseases.             Struggling in the US? Move to China!4 reviews David A. Williams Foreign Languages Press, 2007 Strongly Recommended If you want a good real-world book that'll also entertain you, then get this. I stayed up till 3 o'clock in the morning reading my copy the day I got it. I'd been living in China longer than the author when he wrote this, but the book helped me discover that I'd overlooked alot of obvious opportunities and good times. Whether you're an expert in Chinese ways or have no interest in China, I would ...             Selected stories of Lu Hsun1 review Hsün Lu Foreign Languages Press, 1963 China's Cultural Doctor After studying to become a doctor in a Western-style medical school in Nanjing in the 1910s, Lu Xun decided that the real diseases afflicting China were not physiological, but sociological. Thus, in order to truly work toward the health of the nation, he decided to diagnose the nation's maladies as an author rather than a physician. Unlike most of his contemporaries, he took the radical ...             Imperialism - the Highest Stage of Capitalism6 reviews Foreign Languages Press, 1997 "...clarifying the world as it is today." This pamphlet by Lenin was first published 90 years ago in the midst of World War I and on the eve of the Russian revolution. In this work Lenin sets out to achieve two things; first, to give a concise and scientific explanation of the nature of Imperialism and, secondly, to debate the ideas of influential and long time German Social Democratic Party leader Karl Kautsky who, under the pressure ...             Inspection of Face and Body for Diagnosis of Diseases Liu Bangming Foreign Languages Press, 2002 Inspection of Face and Body for Diagnosis of Diseases , based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, gives a detailed introduction to discovery of diseases of human body, either existing already or to be developed, by observing human face, chest, torso and limbs, etc., and reminds patients to see doctor as soon as possible. The words used in this work are plain and easy to understand. The methods for self-diagnosis are simple and easy ...             The State and Revolution10 reviews V.I. Lenin Foreign Languages Press, 1996 Revolutionary Classic I believe this is the best, concise revolutionary analysis of the role of the State ever written. I find it very annoying that here in the US, while many students may cursorily read the Communist Manifesto in school, I have never once met ANYONE in my life who has read the basic works of Lenin except for avowed Marxists (and only a minority of these)....and being a Communist myself, I ...              search for books 4-volume, 4-volumes, acupoints, acupuncture, aisin-gioro, anatomy, autobiography, capitalism, chinese, chinese-english, classics, costumes, diagnosis, dietotherapy, diseases, grassland, imperialism, inspection, kingdoms, medicine, mencius, meridian, meridians, moxibustion, revolution, selected, self-massage, standard, struggling, traditional books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
