Another Henry Holt Book

Feng Shui is the Chinese art of arranging buildings and furniture in order to maximize beneficial chi flow through a structure.  Bad chi flow is a bad thing whereas good chi flow will improve your health, finances, etc.  For example, bunk beds are bad because the chi from the top bunk presses down on the bottom bunk.  Flowing water is very good because it keeps things moving, whereas a house by stagnant water, e.g. an eddy in a stream, is bad because things get caught in it.

There's a site or two on the web on Feng Shui, as well as quite a few books out now, at least in the US.  It's starting to reach critical mass over here.

I really would like to know what the heck Feng Shui is. Anyone volunteer?
