Feng Shui for Dummies.......2007-05-15

I laughed out loud when I got this book in the mail. Lesson learned...from now on I will read ALL descriptions MUCH more carefully! I was FULLY expecting a FULL sized book but got this tiny thing. Felt like I was dooped but checked and it does clearly say Miniatue Edition. Live and lern.

Lesson learned..........2007-03-19

To say I was disappointed when I recieved this 3 inch by 3 inch book would be an understatement. I have purchased numerous other books in the Dummy line so was not expecting this miniature book. Had I read the reviews like I usually do, I would have known and not wasted my money.

Also Disappointed - THIS IS NOT THE FULL SIZE BOOK!.......2007-03-02

I wish I would have read the reviews closer before buying this book.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE FULL SIZE BOOK!!!

If take an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper and fold it into sixths, this book is still smaller than that. I think the description is very misleading. You have to search really hard through the description to discover that this is a miniature edition. I feel this should have been listed in the title. I'm very disappointed!!!

Disappointing.......2007-02-23

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one "tricked" into thinking this was a full sized book. This book is ok for the principles and history, but I was looking for applying feng shui to my home, and out of 124 minature pages, there are very few pages on applying specific principles to your home.

Feng Shui for Dummies.......2007-01-19

I was completely blown away when I opened my "book." At 3" by 3" it is a mini book at best. No where was that stated in the discription. It has some interesting info in, but come on, when I was expecting a full sized book, I was greatly disappointed.

This book is good for beginneres, but I didn't find all that much new info and I found it somewhat repetitious throughout, like the authors needed fillers.

Book Description

You stroll out into your backyard. You see a tangle of overgrown shrubs, a lawn that needed to be mowed yesterday, and a series of rosebushes minus the roses. Or maybe you’ve just taken possession of your brand-new house in a brand-new subdivision, and when you step out the back door, all you see is a vista of sod – and in the far distance, the neighbor’s sapling. Either way, you know that you want to do something to your yard, and soon. But you’re not quite sure what or how.

Feng Shui Your Garden For Dummies has the answer. This ancient Chinese philosophy of design can be applied to any room, building, or outdoor space, and it doesn’t require burning incense or belief in bizarre, esoteric ideas. Feng Shui Your Garden For Dummies is for you if you

Have a yard, garden, or piece of outdoor space
Know that your surroundings influence how you feel
Want to design a friendly, welcoming outdoor space

Feng Shui Your Garden For Dummies is organized so that the information is easy to find and easy to use. Each part of the book relates to a general topic. You'll discover information about:

Understanding the principles of Feng Shui, to give you some hints about getting the energy flowing in your garden (can you feel those good vibes?)
Getting started on your Feng Shui garden, by choosing an auspicious (favorable) location for your garden, creating positive energy with your plants, and raising the energy by inviting wildlife into it
Creating a theme garden, such as an aromatherapy garden, hummingbird garden, butterfly garden, or Zen garden. You'll also gain insight into gardening in tight spaces such as patios, rooftops, and courtyards

Feng Shui is just a way of looking at the world and shaping your environment to be pleasing and welcoming to you. You don’t even have to believe in it for it to work. But it does work. Let this book show you how.

Where does the compost pile go?.......2004-11-23

Kind of a fun read. Tells you what you're doing right (no wonder the birds like where I moved the bird bath better than the old spot) and what you're doing wrong (too much clutter enervates the gardener). With or without the belief in chi, it makes a lot of sense.

But where does the compost pile go? It only says where it doesn't go....

May be good but no need of it.......2004-02-20

I plant onion and garlic in garden. Keeps all the ghosts away. No need for shift and incantation.
Thank you.

A great read... easy and fun with excellent ideas!.......2004-01-29

This is exactly the book I needed to get going on my back yard. Excellent examples and explanations with feng shui interpretations I've been wanting to use in my garden for a long time. Thanks Jennifer and Holly!

Book Description

These lavishly illustrated books are the first and second in a series of three cataloguing the Asian art collection at the Norton Simon Museum. Each work of art is fully illustrated and discussed, and both volumes include substantial introductions that shed light on the aesthetic and metaphysical underpinnings of these masterpieces. Volume 1 focuses on sculptures from the Indian subcontinent, except those from the Himalayas. Representing almost all schools of Indian sculptural art and three major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism—the works span two millennia, from the second century B.C.E. to the eighteenth century C.E. The collection's many highlights include a particularly fine assemblage of South Indian bronzes of the Chola period.

Book Description

Photography's great success gives us the impression that the major questions that have haunted the medium are now resolved. On the contrary - the most important questions are just beginning to be asked. These fourteen essays, with over 200 illustrations, critically examine and challenge the prevailing formalist values of late modernism that have been applied to the medium and suggest new ways to explain the history of photography.

The essays examine the social consequences of aesthetic practice and look at how photography constructs sexual difference, how it is used to promote class and national interests, and at the politics of photographic truth.

Richard Bolton is Associate Professor and Chairperson in the Art Studio Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Ouch, but Ahhh........2001-11-24

This book makes my brain hurt, but in a good way. Some of the essays are pretty tough to read as they are very deeply rooted in the world of art historical criticism, but don't let that stop you from getting this book; you'll learn a lot and come away with some good insights into the subject of photography and the history of photography. It would be very helpful to get a companion book that contains some of the artists and works that are discussed here, so you have the images to look at and non-critical, historical looks at the artists for background and context. Something like Beumont Newhall's "History of Photography" would be an excellent match.
