Kent, James, M.D. Repertory of The Homeopathic Materia Medica. Reprint, New Delhi: B. Jain, 1986. All modern repertories are based upon Kent. This book is inexpensive and a great place to start; many practitioners still use Kent's repertory as their primary resource.

1989. Hahnemann's Organon is the Bible of homeopathic medicine. The O'Reilley edition is the easiest and clearest one, and although it is more expensive, it is a beautiful book. The Kunzli edition is also very good. There are other editions by Boericke, but these are harder to read because of the translation.

Sankaran, Rajan. The Spirit of Homeopathy. Bombay: Homeopathic Medical Publishers. 1992. Sankaran is a modern homeopath from India whose ideas have had a great impact upon the homeopathic world. His work is somewhat controversial (some homeopaths believe he strays from Hahnemann, while others feel he has greatly expanded upon Hahnemann's ideas), but he gives a very good explanation of disease and the homeopathic approach, and the book is very interesting to read — and very thought-provoking.

Whitmont, Edward, M.D. The Alchemy of Healing. Berkeley, California: North Atlantic Books, 1993. Compelling treatise on the fundamental nature of disease and healing. The author was a homeopath as well as a Jungian scholar and psychotherapist. My copy is well worn.

This four volume set covers the history of medicine, emphasizing the divergence into rationalist and empirical pathways. Volume Three covers the conflict between homeopathy and allopathy in the Nineteenth century. Fascinating reading.
