|  | The Second Brain by Michael Gershon
The second brain refers to the human digestive system and its nerve cells. Drawing from his 30 years of pioneering research, the author asserts that there is a strong connection between both this second brain and the traditional one. When one's brains are in disagreement, he says, one may suffer from cramps, constipation, diarrhea, and other ailments. His theory pinpoints the causes of many gastrointestinal problems and vindicates those plagued with stomach maladies thought to be psychosomatic. AUTHOR: Michael Gershon

 | The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine by Maoshing Ni
Here is the only complete translation of the manual regarded as the highest authority on Chinese medical theory and practice. The Neijing is also one of the most important texts of Taoism, its authorship traditionally attributed to the Yellow Emperor, Huang Di, who reigned during the third millennium BCE. This new translation consists of the eighty-one chapters of the section of the Neijing known as the Suwen, or Questions of Organic and Fundamental Nature. (The other section, called the Lingshu, is a technical book on acupuncture and is not included here.) Written in the form of a discourse between Huang Di and his ministers, The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine contains a wealth of knowledge, including etiology, physiology, diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of disease, as well as an in-depth investigation of such diverse subjects as ethics, psychology, and cosmology. All of these subjects are discussed in a holistic context that says life is not fragmented, as in the model provided by modern science, but rather that all the pieces make up an interconnected whole. By revealing the natural laws of this holistic universe, the book offers much practical advice on how to promote a long, happy, and healthy life. The original text of the Neijing presents broad concepts and is often brief with details. The translator's elucidations and interpretations, incorporated into the translation, help not only to clarify the meaning of the text but also to make it a highly readable narrative for both students of Chinese medicine and a general audience.
