Feng shui ("fung shway") is the Chinese art of adjusting surroundings to influence peoples' moods, relationships, and even the course of events. This illustrated guide explains feng shui principles and their use in ancient times, as well as their application in the modern world. The subject is full of complexities--general philosophical principles as well as specific directives (e.g. the negative impact of planting trees with white flowers on the right side of the house). Lin Yun is a Buddhist scholar and authority on feng shui; Rossbach is his longtime student and has written extensively on the topic. Abundantly illustrated with color photos, drawings, charts, and plans. Of interest to designers and architects as well as homeowners and office dwellers with a deeper-than-average interest in design principles and eastern philosophy. 9x11.25" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
