Gill Hale

I haven't read much of this book but I haven't liked much of what I read. Hale's definition of Feng Shui is Wicca, and I was not interested in Wicca.

The Feng Shui Garden by Gill Hale has excellent photos and drawings to explain feng shui principles. There are several out of print editions available including this one.
