Using his considerable skill as an acupuncturist, phytotherapist, and Western physician, Requena explains acupuncture pathologies in detail, giving a comprehensive and notable description of clinically justified TCM therapeutics. He uses a singularly effective approach to develop descriptions of terrains, or constitutional types, composites of the energetic qualities of the six unit meridians and five phase energetics, treating each as a description of an energetic anatomy that relates to both psychological and biophysical data, and drawing extensively on source quotations from the Su Wen, Li

Through the concept of "social navigation," this book sheds light on the mobilization of urban youth in West Africa. Social navigation offers a perspective on praxis in situations of conflict and turmoil.

Through the perspectives of scholars who live and work within the region, the book offers readers a rare opportunity to enter into the world of Southeast Asian historiography. Individual chapters subject the dominance of national narratives to critical reflection and deconstruction, while others highlight the need to go beyond essentially political narratives to seek out deepe
