An Introduction to Feng Shui
Este autor ha escrito muchos, pero muchos libros sobre feng shui y otras " filosofÃas " tanto orientales como occidentales, en su prólogo escribe el cómo se inició en este rollo del feng shui, lo cual ocurrió a través de las matemáticas (esa parte sà me gustó, le da su valor al estudio de las matemáticas). Y eso esrÃa un buen punto de partida para leer y entender el feng shui, pero, oh, luego se va por otro camino, que ya no me gustó, y es el de simplificar demasiado el método de las orientaciones, darles los nombres de "casas" del "dinero" "la pareja", "los hijos", etc. Aunque esta forma de ver las orientaciones de los diferentes espacios en las viviendas no es cien por ciento erróneo, está demasiado simplificado y no se explica de dónde salieron esos conceptos. Lo recomiendo solo para los que quieren saber de qué se trata más o menos el feng shui, no para aprender algo serio.
