Dowsing: A Journey Beyond our Five Senses,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dowsing: A Journey Beyond Our Five Senses (Hardcover)
Dowsing tells the story of dowsing and its principles, and offers instructions for making dowsing instruments, locating water, and dowsing your own home. The book is thin, impeccably designed, and will stimulate more thinking and subsequent "Eureka" moments than a dozen novels laced with narrative innovation. And, at $10.00, it's a marvelous gift for yourself or someone you care about. I loved it.

Exploring An Ancient Art,
By Ralph Squire (Columbia, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dowsing: A Journey Beyond Our Five Senses (Hardcover)
This little book, written by a Brit, is both concise and comprehensive. It covers the history of the ancient art of dowsing, its multiple applications, and its future possibilities, in a way that can be understood by most anyone. I highly recommend it.- Ralph Squire, Trustee, American Society of Dowsers

An excellent introduction to this widespread skill.,
By Mike Ornstein (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dowsing: A Journey Beyond Our Five Senses (Hardcover)
This is a great little book on Dowsing, and a welcome addition to this excellent series on the ancient sciences. Miller covers the subject in some depth while remaining comfortably light-hearted. I first came across dowsing when working on a construction site and saw buried cables located by the technique. I later saw a missing dog accurately located using map dowsing and thereafter learnt what I could about it. Try telling a country farmer that it doesn't work as does an ealier reviewer! For the record Agricola records that dowsers "...wander hither and thither at random through mountainous regions. It is said that the moment they place their feet on a vein the twig immediately turns and twists, and so by its action discloses the vein; when they move their feet again and go away from that spot the twig becomes once more immobile." This is in fact what occurs and Miller's book, told with the simple charm of a master dowser, is an excellent and gentle encouragement into the mysteries of this venerable and ancient science.
