This book provides a richly documented account of the historical, cultural, philosophi cal and practical dimensions of feng shui. It argues that where feng shui is entrenched educational systems have a responsibility to examine its claims, and that this examination provides opportunities for students to better learn about the key features of the nature of science, the demarcation of science and non-science, the characteristics of pseudoscience, and the engagement of science with culture and worldviews. The arguments presented for fengshui being a pseudoscience can be marshalled when considering a whole range of comparable beliefs and the educational benefit of their appraisal.
