Feng Shui is the ancient Oriental art of object placement. Believed to encourage chi, or energy, flow, Feng Shui can positively affect health, relationships, career, and finances.

With specific sections devoted to wealth, fame, health, children, education, networking and career, you'll turn to this lavishly illustrated cloth original for success in every area of your life! Here's just a few of Lillian's tips:

Great Beginner's Book!.......2003-02-02

Just a summary - don't expect answers.......2001-01-23
I got all those things from the book, but I was disappointed at how superficial the writing was. This had about as much information as a magazine article.
I totally disagree with the previous reviews stating this was too technical. There ARE formulas you need to use to calculate your personal lucky number. Basically, it's a simple math equation. But this is very simple and easy to use. In fact, each chapter has the same formula to determine your personal direction of maximal auspiciousness. Once you've determined your lucky number, are you really going to forget it in between chapters?
In addition, parts of the book repeat advice and language -- almost verbatim -- from previous sections. The book needs significant editing, and a complete infusion of fresh photos. The stock images used in the book don't even show rooms and houses that are properly laid out. Captions don't match pictures, and often, the reader is left with even more questions about what the author is trying to convey.
If all you're looking for is a basic overview, you can get it from the Internet.

Tao of Feng Shui, Book One : Fundamentals of Feng Shui
Shan-Tung, Ph.D. Hsu Manufacturer: Blue Mountain Feng Shui Institute ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 096769020X |
Book Description
This book is a clear, easy-to-understand entry to the practical, usable fundamental principles of Landform Feng Shui, written by one of the very few traditionally-trained Masters of the art. First developed by pre-civilzation Chinese Hunter-gatherer tribes, Landform Feng Shui is by far the oldest school of Feng Shui. Briefly, Landform Feng Shui states that: All physical matter is condensed Chi (energy); all physical objects are passive Chi generators, radiating chi into the space around them where it has specific, predictable effects on physical, mental, emotional, social, financial, and spiritual aspects of people's lives; Chi is defined as either Yin or Yang; it is further divided into the qualities of wholesome Yin, wholesome Yang, and unwholesome Yin and Unwholesome Yang; the physical shape(s) of and in a neighborhood, landscape, garden, house, office, or interior, and their relationships with nearby shapes, determine the quantity and quality of the Chi they radiate. Learning Feng Shui involves a wholesome balance of Yin and a Yang in the student: direct, intuitive sensing of the Chi radiated by physical forms is Yin; conscious knowledge of Feng Shui's principles is Yang. Learning to sense form Chi is fairly easy for most people because Landform Feng Shui is simply an understanding of how people and nature have always interacted. If we live in harmony with natural energies, life naturally offers us social, romantic, financial, and other opportunities. Every concept in this book is based in the common sense, practical ways that Landform Feng Shui masters have learned to feel and make good use of natural energies, so that people can have abundant, wholesome Chi.Landform Feng Shui has exactly the same philosophical basis as Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, Herbal medicine, Tuina healing massage, and using food as medicine), Tai Chi, I-Ching, Hsing-I, Ba Gua, Chinese caligraphy and painting, and Chinese Taoism and Buddhism. This foundation is easy to understand because Dr. Hsu began learning these arts as a child from his father, who was a highly-respected master. He also studied with numerous other masters of various related arts, who lived with his family. He has lived in America for almost thirty years so his command of English is very good. To round out his awareness, he entered deeply into a study of Sufi teachings and Zen.

Spirit-lifting, heart-warming, anxiety-smoothing eating.......2003-03-08
Recipes for the Soul and Spirit.......2002-11-27
I had the pleasure of hearing Lynn Ruth Miller's humorous story about her mother's Hanukkah blintzes at a reading in Oakland where I was also on the panel as a contributor to another book in the Cup of Comfort series. So much goes into the preparation of food than just ingredients. These recipes reflect the history, family lore, adventures, culture and of course the doses of love that are necessities in good food.
My daughter was flipping through the book checking out recipes for Thanksgiving and was constantly reading out loud the anecdotes and heartfelt stories. Dutch Breakfast Bread and Abuelita's Rice Pudding are just two examples of the richness of recipes and stories in this contribution. These recipes offer a pinch of faith, a dash of strength, a tablespoon of love and a cup of comfort, a gift to America.

Female Form:A Private View
Tony Mitchell Manufacturer: Carlton Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1858687756 |
Book Description
Focusing on some of the well-known names in photography Female Form is a beautiful work of art for the informed or the lay audience and reflects the way modern photography of the female nude attempts to encompass both male and female viewpoints. Filled with superb color and black-and-white images this is a must-have celebration of tiffs photographic genre.Customer Reviews:
not what it pretends to be, but an ok value for money.......2004-02-26
the quality and size of the photographs are pretty good, and the ocver's nice and all, but the choice of artists seem random at best, you can't make a 100 pages book to explain the whole history of nude and erotic photography, and even if you could - that's hardly the bast way to do it. there are several photos by every artist which means the book shows less then 20 photographes in general, and not the most famouse, inovating or interesting in this fild, some of the choices looked very odd to me. there's a feel that the book was just a collection of some of the photos the publisher had a right to publish and that's why they go in.
don't get me wrong, it's a nice book with quite a few interesting phtographs which i enjoy fliping through, it's just doesn't even begin to do what it's promising to do which is to review nude and erotic phtography through out the century.
note - very good value for money, which makes it a very nice gift option for somone artistic who doesn't own a lot of photography books.
A BOOK WORTH A PEEK.......2003-04-20
The book I have in my library is published by Carlton Books Limited, 1999 and represent externally the more economic hardcover formats. It contains a total of 96 pages with both color and duotone photographs. The selling price is usually economic so it is well worth a peek. What you get is an expanded view of what any photographic magazine would provide in any female nude theme, and all in hard covers for a good shelf life.
There is an emphasis on 1990's work by several popular photographers, some work from the 80's and a few early last century.
Several of the photographs chosen for this book have a fetish undertone, if not outright so. Perhaps it was typical of the 90's photography or are preferences of the author of compiling this book, Mr. Tony Mitchell. The book contains work by Jan Saudek, Lichfield, Karo, Craig Morey, Trevor Watson, Monika Robl to mention only a few.
The book has only two pages of introductory text, and one page showing the contents and naming the work.
This book stays in my library because of some stunning photographs within, views such as; Paolo Curto's "Untitled" on page 26, Karo's "Pflaster" on page 33, Trevor Watson's "Untitled" on page 49 and Monika Robl's "Sappho" on page 53.
Don't buy it unseen.......2003-01-09
The moral I draw from this is: don't buy a book like this online. Go to a bookstore where you can flip through it before buying. If I had done that, I would have saved myself the cost of the return shipping, and perhaps found a better book.
Not the best of its genre.......2002-11-20
