Feng-Shui is the ancient science of landscape. The belief in feng-shui and the ability of its practitioners to bring good luck to their clients through their esoteric methods of adjusting the arrangements of their domestic or business premises prevails today. Eitel explains the feng-shui system and shows how some positions attract fame and fortune, while others attract calamities.
