Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) contains an extensive knowledge that the Chinese nation has accumulated through practical experimentation and theoretical research in treating diseases and promoting health over a period of thousands of years. Throughout the history, many TCM theorists, experts, and pharmacists have contributed valuable works. The most representative of them was Li Shizhen with his Ben Cao Gang Mu (Compendium of Materia Medica), which was praised by Charles Darwin as an "encyclopaedia" of ancient China and was selected into Memory of the World Register by UNESCO in 2011.

 

This book is divided into two parts: the introduction and the selected reading of the original work of Ben Cao Gang Mu. In the introductory part, the life story, academic characteristics and main contributions of Li Shizhen are illustrated, and suggested learning methods of the book are recommended. In the selected reading part, five aspects are mainly discussed: original preface and memorial to the throne, essence of Li Shizhen's medical theories, treatment of various diseases, Li Shizhen's medical records and medical notes, and health preservation. Apart from the selected reading from Ben Cao Gang Mu, theoretical exposition and modern application are supplemented in each chapter so as to improve readers' theoretical knowledge and ability of practical problem-solving.

Baki in English!
Format: Paperback
Long awaited! I started getting into Baki about five years ago and since then I've been fully caught up in the series, but I've always wished for volumes to be printed in English so I could have something official and to put on my shelf. As for the actual product, they did an amazing job putting together an amazing volume! High quality, easy to read, paper itself feels really nice, saw in the details it's actually printed in Japan, so that's cool. Cover is very striking, same for the spine, it'll stand out in your shelf. That being said, I'm so happy we finally got official Baki volumes in English, it's a dream of mine come true! Will be ordering more volumes.

Excellent volume
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I love this volume. It was well done with high quality paper and also has the colored pages of the original Japanese version. I'm not a fan of slip covers, and i feel the same for this volume. The actual cover looks kinda plain and uninspired, but the slip cover looks great (it's done in the art style of later volumes). I do like the texture of the slip cover and i wish it was the actual cover- that's my only complaint. Besides the great paper quality, the pictures are very clean, i forgot how good the art actually is- it's much better on paper than online! The pictures i took don't do it justice! If you're a Baki fan (or if you like martial arts manga in general) i would definitely recommend.
