Product Description
Connor and Samuel explore the present state of a range of healing traditions in their Asian locales. The peoples examined include relatively remote populations such as the Iban of Sarawak, the Temiar of Malaysia, and the Sasak of Lomboko, as well as rural South Indians and Malays, the people of South Korea's modern industrial cities, and Tibetans both in Chinese-controlled Tibet and in the refugee settlements of North India.

Trafitional Asian Medicine(s) and Science April 27, 2009
Rey Tiquia (Melbourne, Australia)
This is a must book to read for researchers looking at the various
traditional Asian healing traditions. It also provides a good theoretical framework for looking at the current process of globalization while at the same time critically looking at the ideology of science and modernity.
