Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Fundamentals

I teach Fundamentals of Oriental Medicine at Emperors College in Los Angeles and I find this is the best book to build lectures from. Although I don't make it a required book (students have two other more expensive books to buy) I absolutely suggest it to students. What must be realized is that the standard Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion and to some extent Giovanni Maciocia books are fundamental Acupuncture books. This book is an introduction to Chinese basic theory and as such goes into greater detail than any other English language book on the subject. PMPH has done a great job putting this book together.

About Face: Race in Postmodern America

I read this book years if not decades ago and am now reordering it because I can't find my original copy. Absolutely one of the best books written about racial politics in America. The author is a white Muslim who married into a black family. His observations and revelations about racism are incredibly insightful to unravel this complex subject. Although it often goes into semiotics,popular at the time, those dense and perhaps unnecessary sections don't detract from the strong message the author gets across.
