This book has an interesting history which is described in the introduction by Paul Zmiewski. It also has an interesting publishing history. We first learned of Soluie De Morant's work in the late 1960's from macrobiotic teachers who, based upon his book with Yukikazu Sakurazawa (George Oshawa), believed that De Morant had learned acupuncture from Oshawa in France.

SynopsisSoulie de Morant's masterpiece is the most detailed study of acupuncture available in a Western language. It was nominated for a Nobel prize and provided the foundation for French acupuncture. The text is divided into 5 parts: the energetics of acupuncture, the application of the energetics, physiology, meridians and points, and treatment. The book is a unique historical document, but more than this, it is the most practical of texts and has already served a generation of clinicians well.
