Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 1993 October #2 This work describes over 160 therapies in a thorough, consistent manner, making no exaggerated claims. Everything is here, including some treatment modalities that are not very ``alternative,'' such as walking, physical therapy, and aerobics. The detailed histories of how various therapies were discovered can be hard to find elsewhere. Often the authors, a licensed acupuncturist and a writer, don't take a stand on the efficacy of a specific treatment (e.g., urine therapy) but recommend sources for more information. The only drawback is the absence of complete citations in the bibliography. Useful as a ready reference, this book can also be read front to back; highly recommended for academic and public libraries.-- Natalie Kupferberg, Montana State Univ.
