Author: Rick Eckersley. Rick Eckersley and Lisa Stafford design gardens that people want to live in - ones that are simultaneously stimulating and comfortable. Now, in Outside, they share their experience. They know how difficult it is to manipulate something as three-dimensional and changing as a garden, so Outside is about how to analyse a site’s potential and visualise a garden that meets your needs. It is about creating a garden that harmonises with its house and the larger environment and flows organically from one part to the next, with shifts of tempo and surprises along the way. And it is about employing colours, textures and shapes, water, materials and plants, and the effects of light, shade and season, to endow a garden with mood and personality.
Author: Simon Brown. The Definitive Guide to Improving Your Life, Home, Health and Finances. Feng Shui has become a widely practised art form combining self-help with interior decoration and design. The idea is simple: to improve any aspect of your life, you must create the right atmosphere to support it. The Feng Shui Bible brings all the strands of this ancient practise into one simple, useable reference. The opening section explains the key concepts of Feng Shui, chi energy, yin and yang, the five elements and eight trigrams, and illustrates them with real life applications and examples. It also details the basic tools of Feng Shui - everyday objects like mirrors, plants, and fountains that help the energy in any space flow more easily. The comprehensive Feng Shui Directory explains how these principles can be used to improve every aspect of life - home, relationships, finances, creativity, career, health, and spiritual connection. This handy reference can help anyone apply the ancient principles of energy balancing and energy flow to improving the atmosphere of their home, office, garden, and life.
