    Hi. Perhaps you could go to the following link on Google Books to have a look at the preview of Chapter 2 'Chinese thinking: 5 core elements' there. Unfortunately the more detailed description of yin and yang (from Page 14 to 17) are not part of the preview - you may need to get hold of a copy of the book:) Best regards, Helen
