Description
The traditional Chinese science and practice of FengShui works with vital currents that are influenced by heavenly bodies and which permeate the earth's surface and regulate its cycles of fertility. Modern concern about the threat to the earth's continued life and fertility has brought about a revival of interest in this science which was based on principles of cooperation between mankind and nature. First published in 1873, Ernest J. Eitel's Feng-Shui remains the best classical treatise on the subject ever written. As such, it offers a unique perspective on a subject that has since been heavily commercialized in the West. This edition includes nine engravings of Chinese landscapes by nineteenth century artist Thomas Allom.
