- Bones and muscles have been precisely drawn into each photograph, a valuable tool for localization of points
- A comprehensive discussion of all acupuncture points on all channels ensures that you have full mastery of the field
- A complete introduction to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the channel network, TCM diagnostics, point selection, and point categories provide a strong foundation in the concepts of veterinary acupuncture
