I've seen!
Wish I'd seen this book before I had
read other books on the subject - I could have taken the
author's advice to read a couple of them thoroughly than
try to read a library's worth on this harmonious way of
living and designing your environment.
Feng-shui has shed the image of "some Easern
mumbo-jumbo that has no impact on modern life," as
people have increasingly realized and accepted its
benefits and become more aware of the need to live in
harmony with the environment.
This is a great book on the subject - easy to read
but full in addressing its subject. It should be
required reading, not just for any urban or other
planner, but for anyone interested in living a better
life.

feng shui approach to the naturalistic
landscape
Eva Wong's book has much in its favor.
Historically, the selection of a grave site was one of
the most important commissions a feng shui master would
receive. You had to be at peace with nature for a long
time, and this was no snap question.
Mistress Wong introduces you to this ancient Chinese
landscape of the mind. I would never have come to
appreciate the red raven formation in front of my
Seattle home were it not for this informative book.
I do not pretend to be expert in these arts.
Westerners used to consider all of this 'black magic.'
This is fusion culture for those who like fusion
cuisine. Bon appetit!

Excellent Source for Traditional Feng
Shui
When I started to become interested in Feng
Shui, I didn't know where to look. So many books are out
there, but which ones are for real? And which ones are
just jumping on the new fad band-wagon? At some point I
came across some information on Eva Wong and decided to
purchase this book. It was a great decision.
With Feng Shui, you have to realize that it is an
ancient art that is so much bigger than what you read in
a book. This volume is an excellent step in the right
direction if you are desiring to learn about the
tradional Chinese practice. It covers everything from
the history of Feng Shui to taking readings of your
home. It is simply amazing the time and knowledge that
goes into this practice and Ms. Wong breaks it down
chapter by chapter.
Taking time to really sit down and study Ms. Wong's
book has been rewarding...and has me asking to learn
more. One great piece of advice she does mention is to
learn one or two books well...no need to ready
everything everyone has written on the
subject.
