Product Description
From Library Journal
Feng shui, defined by Too as the philosophy of "arranging a living environment where...energies are in complete harmonious balance," continues to interest interior designers. Beginning with a detailed explanation of the history and principles of feng shui, she discusses its use in the home, garden, and business environments and in personal life and concludes with a glossary of terms. Color photographs illustrate this book, which is similar to Rossbach's Feng Shui Design (LJ 1/99). Rossbach's newest book is an expanded edition of her first work, which is considered a classic. This update includes a new section on color and some new illustrations. Rossbach's is an excellent purchase for any sized library, while Too's should be purchased if there is a strong interest in this subject.

Book Description
A centuries-old Chinese practice, feng shui has captured the Western imagination as a tool for design and well-being. In this classic book, complete with helpful drawings and photographs, Sarah Rossbach shows how anyone can apply its principles to enhance their careers, family life, health, and prosperity. Rossbach interprets the teachings of feng shui master Lin Yun for contemporary Westerners, offering practical methods for achieving harmony with one's environment. Focusing on common problems in business and residential settings, she discusses everything from the site of a building to furniture arrangement to wall decoration. In a chapter new to this edition, she explains how to choose colors that satisfy individual needs and preferences. Rossbach's easy-to-execute advice includes such simple steps as moving a microwave oven, repositioning a desk, and hanging mirrors to alleviate negative influences.

First Sentence
Until recent years, the wisdom of feng shui has been the domain of a handful of sinologists, some Buddhist and Taoist priests, and a sprinkling of experts-feng shui professors-who, on a professional basis, advise clients on anything from where to buy a house to siting an ancestor's grave.

Not necessarily the place to begin.,
By frumiousb "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interior Design with Feng Shui: New and Expanded (Paperback)
I'd had this book recommended to me as a good one with which to begin to understand Feng Shui. While I will agree that aspects of it were clear and full of practical application (the examples of room layouts, etc.), in general I found the book to be poorly organized and certainly not enough in and of itself to gain a basic understanding of Feng Shui.I found that I learned enough to be interested further, and got some practical advice about furniture placement. Not where I would send a beginner, however.

The Bible of Feng Shui,
By Bryan W. Akers (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interior Design with Feng Shui: New and Expanded (Paperback)
This should be considered the first and foremost guide to Feng Shui. With a metaphysical/new age trend running rampant, people interested in mixing eastern culture and spirituality with our impatient and wasteful western world, need this book before any other.

The Classic-Dull but Essential,
By
This review is from: Interior Design with Feng Shui: New and Expanded (Paperback)
This is the book that ignited American interest in Feng Shui 20 years ago. It takes the subject matter very seriously, and is not light reading--nor should it be. Feng Shui is a discipline that requires study to master. For anyone who wants to honor the art and science of Feng Shui, this book is an essential text and reference.
