Summary: A great place to start
Review: Chinese Medical Chinese: Characters is a great place to start for those wanting to begin a study of Chinese medical language. It is suitable for readers without prior knowledge of Chinese language. It covers a carefully selected core vocabulary of 100 terms that commonly occur in modern Chinese medical literature, many of which are seen in compounds in the companion volume, Chinese Medical Chinese: Grammar and Vocabulary.The book includes the etymology of each of the 100 characters, the modern meaning, pronunciation, English equivalent according to the Wiseman/Ye standard, and a facing page with a practice grid that shows the correct order and direction of the strokes needed to write the character, with ample blank space for practice. Chinese Medical Chinese: Characters makes an excellent self-study workbook for beginning medical Chinese and it would also serve well in an introductory course on Chinese medical Chinese.

Summary: Write Chinese, good not great
Review: Exactly what I wanted, but then I wanted more...
It covers a few characters and how they are written in many different ways. It can be a little confusing, pre-historic, ancient, modern, printed, etc. The authors feel the different forms are needed, but I really need only modern script. Also, I need more medical characters. This is Vol. one, and each of the next volumes will coaver more characters. I hope they publish them all in one book, before I graduate from TCM school. Right now, it is a lot of cash for a small book that just makes me want the next three books. Very valuble, and I'll use it for a few weeks but not return to it.
