UBC Press The Spark in the Machine book Paperback 208 pages

Why can salamanders grow new legs, and young children grow new finger tips, but adult humans can't regenerate? What is the electricity that flows through the human body? Is it the same thing that the Chinese call Qi? If so, what does Chinese medicine know, that western medicine ignores? Dan Keown’s accessible and original book shows how western medicine validates the theories of Chinese medicine, how Chinese medicine explains the mysteries of the body that western medicine largely ignores, and how the integrated theory enlarges our understanding of how bodies work on every level.

Daniel Keown is a registered doctor. In 2008 he completed a degree in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture from Kingston University. Daniel is a member of the British Acupuncture Council.
