Finally a decent and intelligent introduction to qi gong

Books on qi gong tend to have two flaws: being overly practical (move this way) or burying the beginner in theory. This book picks a nice middle ground, where theroy and practical concerns are mixed. The authors attempt to put qi qong in relations to modern science (not badly done) and religions (totally misunderstands Christianity). Practice advice is given for the beginner and a fair bit of theory (in readable terms). It's a good book and one I'd recommend to a beginner. A less silted writing styles and more illustrations would be nice but its definitely worth the money.
