In order to assess American medical needs, systems in other countries are under review.In the case of China a conference on the comparative study of traditional and modem medicine in Chinese societies was held in 1974 and the forty-nine contributions are published here, grouped into five sections.The first 'Medical systems in Chinese societies', deals with historical perspectives and provides an excellent survey and discussion of traditional Chinese medicine.A second part of this section concerns 'Contemporary sociocultural studies'.The other sections are 'Medical systems in the periphery of China', 'Demographic and epidemiological aspects', 'Implications for future research', and 'Implications for health care'.Many reports are in the form of field studies, epidemiological, anthropological, and clinical.Each chapter is fully documented and there is an excellent index.Those concerned with the history of Chinese medicine will find this book of the greatest value.Not only is the historical section most useful, but throughout there is information that will be pertinent to their studies and which will acquaint them with the present-day medical systems in Chinese cultures, although none of the material concerns mainland China
