Don't Be Trapped By Reading this Book.......2000-04-16
I hope reader not to be trapped by reading Education series by using Feng Shui. I bought this Feng Shui book in a store in Kuala Lumpur and tried to apply to my children and it doesn't work.
IT WORKS !!!!.......1999-03-04
I used this book to energize my son's Education and personal development CORNER as advised and his grades have shown an enormous jump. He is so motivated and is now talking seriously about College. it is an amazing change. I am definitely a believer in feng shui.
Book Description
If you want to solve design problems with the computer, Design Fundamentals for the Digital Age gives you the tools. At a time when designers rely increasingly on computers, finally here is a resource that integrates design fundamentals with the latest digital technology. Two leading New York designers demonstrate how to unite the foundations of design with a knowledge of the computer and its platforms. No other book introduces the fundamentals of Computer Aided Design (CAD) within the context of the design process. But this book is much more than a technical guide—it treats the computer as an exciting design medium whose potential is just beginning to be tapped. Using plain English, Design Fundamentals for the Digital Age shows you how to:
- understand CAD and effectively apply it in your design projects;
- explore the computer as an artistic medium, working with space, color, surface, structure, light, motion, and other design elements; and
- integrate the computer into the design process in order to meet the demands of today's changing technology and job market.
With nearly 200 illustrations, this book includes an easy-to-use glossary of terms, a comprehensive bibliography, and a useful workbook with practical applications. It serves as a fundamental reference for graphic and interior design students, architects, fashion designers, product designers, and fine art professionals. This exciting guide helps students and professionals meet the changing requirements of the field, and is particularly relevant at a time when every designer is required to use the computer as an essential medium on the job. Design Fundamentals for the Digital Age provides real solutions to design problems as computers transform the way we think and work.

The Basics.......2000-05-31
Although the pictures look a bit dated this is an excellent introduction to urban design-or the aesthetic, functional and phycological effects of architecture and layout in the urban area. As a text book for students or the interested citizen, it would be a good first read. Unfortunately, it comes across as anti-modernism through its almost angry condemnation of modern arcitecture's disreguard for urban cohesiveness. What it is really trying to say is that the extreme contrast of modern architecture with older urban buildings should be used very carefully and should not damage the aesthetics of urban areas.
The APA did a good job and this book delivers just what the title promises.

Book Description
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. Just five years ago, Feng Shui was virtually unheard of in the West. Today, Feng Shui's popularity has soared predominately due to the efforts of one woman, Lillian Too--publicly acknowledged as "the face of Feng Shui worldwide." Lillian Too's books on the subject have become international best-sellers.
Element is proud to present The Fundamentals of Feng Shui, a comprehensive compilation of eight Lillian Too titles, plus additional Feng Shui instructional and introductory sections. Witty and wise, Lillian packs this full-color illustrated compendium with absolutely everything you could possibly need to know, including:
* The origins, principles, and practice of Feng Shui * The two major schools of Feng Shui, the Lo Shi Square, the Kua Numbers Formula, Dragon's Breath and Poison Arrows * Optimum placement for landscaping, furnishings, and energy * Feng Shui "cures" and "antidotes."
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:
* Wealth: Add richness to any room with the Chinese jade plant. Its succulent green leaves are symbolic of success. * Love: Check romantic compatibility with the Kua Formula. * Fame: Place eight special symbols within the home for fame. * Health: Position your bed for a restful, restorative night's sleep. * Children: Place your child's desk in the West for great grades. * Education: Carry a crystal to boost memory. * Networking: A decorative urn near the door welcomes mentors. * Career: Hang windchimes in your workspace to attract businesses, promotion, or success.
This great guide has something for everyone! Authoritative, yet accessible, The Fundamentals of Feng Shui even offers step-by-step photography on exercises to encourage positive energy.
Customer Reviews:
Great Beginner's Book!.......2003-02-02
I recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn the basics of feng shui. This is a very fundamental guide, but can make a lot of difference in the way you decorate your home or office. Of course, feng shui is not an art that can be easily or quickly grasped, but Ms. Too gives a very good taste of the concept.
Recommended.......2001-02-27
Lillian Too's books are easy to understand. I have decided after purchasing her books that I will not buy any other books on Feng Shui except hers.
Just a summary - don't expect answers.......2001-01-23
I was looking for a feng shui book that was instructional and explanatory with pictures and a basic introduction on how to set up my home.
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.

Long but interesting.......2000-06-21
This book is not for the beginner---it can be along and confusing read---but if you have a grasp of feng shui then you will find it to be very helpful. I would say that this book complements beginnning books.

The title is wrong but the book is great !.......1999-01-23
Do not be mislead by the title. This is not a book about fame. It is about how to use feng shui to win recognition and be noticed ... after following the tips here I was picked by my boss for an important job and now have greater responsibilities, a bigger role in decision making and of course more money. Thank you Lillian Too. Keep up the great work you are doing . Here in South Africa you have many fans !!! ...

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.

Less than inspiring.......2000-05-05
Sorry but I'm with the other reviewer - Lillian Too's books seem to rehash the same stuff over and over again. Also I find her very confusing. I'm fascinated by feng shui but think there are much better books out there to be honest.
ALL THE BOOKS ARE SIMILAR !.......2000-04-12
I notice that the books written by Lilian Too are almost similar and I agreed a reader from the U.S. that Lilian Too's Feng Shui books are aims for commercial and money making, and not really helping people to overcome difficult and problems by using Feng Shui.
Acknowledging ones career.......2000-02-26
It is beyond examination that Lillian's exemplifies the ideas of feng shui, and brings it about in a really easy and comprehensible manner. It takes feng shui to a new level, adapting the essential elements of theory and incorporates it towards different aspects of one's life.
It embelishes the essence in understanding focal and directing ones energy towards ones center. It is through a center that we as individuals live and affect one another. This book provides a prime example in understanding and able to focus our energy in a series of manner to enhance our productivity and life.
I bought this book 6 months ago ..........1999-01-23
... and after energizing the corners and tapping the directions according to Lillian Too's advice,I have just been promoted. I have been so inspired by her fantasitic career achievements - here in Malaysia she is a great role model... I recommend this and all her other books very highly but this is the best book !
