With the growth of world interest in traditional Chinese medicine and the development of its clinical practice in the West, an urgent need for translation glossaries to support the expanding demand for translation of medical texts.

This book is a revised and expanded edition of Glossary of Chinese Medical Terms and Acupuncture Points which was published in 1990. The new edition contains over 10,000 general terms as well as the names of 1,700 drugs, over 2,000 formulas, and 1,500 point names. The Chinese is accessible by Pinyin which is merged with English in a single alphabetical listing. The book thus provides Chinese and Western translators and students with a comprehensive and easy-to-use Chinese-English English-Chinese reference work.
