ABOUT THE AUTHOR
PETER ECKMAN M.D., Ph.D. (New York University), M.Ac. (College of Traditional Acupuncture, Leamington Spa, England) practices acupuncture in the San Francisco Bay Area.
He edited the English editions of The Essential Book of Traditional Chinese Medicine by Liu Yan-Chi and Koryo Hand Acupuncture by Yoo Tae-Woo, and co-authored Closing the Circle: Lectures on the Unity Of Traditional Oriental Medicine with Stuart Kutchins. In 1993 he was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
He is a former Chairman of the Schools and Credentials Subcommittee of the California Acupuncture Examining Committee, and has been researching the material for this book since beginning his acupuncture training in 1973, with study in China, Japan, Korea, England, France and the U.S.
In the Footsteps of the Yellow Emperor was first published in 1996. This updated paperback edition contains new material reflecting developments in the latter half of the twentieth century. Since this aspect of the book deals with contemporary history, the author would appreciate hearing from readers who have knowledge of, or memorabilia regarding any of the gaps that are inevitable in a work such as this, and he can be reached by e-mail at [email protected] (please be sure to mention “Footsteps” in the subject line). Conventional mail will also be appreciated at 4279 Cesar Chavez Street, San Francisco, CA 94131, and would be the preferred route for sharing documentary material. The response to the 1996 hardcover edition has been truly gratifying, and the author wishes to thank all those who took the time to provide personal feedback. Correspondence regarding other styles of acupuncture as well as the underlying philosophical and energetic basis fundamental to all of Traditional Oriental Medicine is also welcome, as these topics are begging for a more thorough exegesis.
a The order of presentation follows the theory of the Circle described in Chapter One.
b Hufeland’s quotation is cited in McGavack, p. 15. Compare it to the following from Worsley-5, p. xi: “Only Nature can cure disease. Practitioners only assist Nature, acting as instruments of Nature in putting the patient back on the path to health.”
