A completely rewritten version of the original 'Earth Harmony' published in 1987, the main title is the same as the original edition, but the majority of the book is new with a great deal of new information. The aim of Earth Harmony is the integration of inevitably human activities with the natural environment and the flow of events. Feng-shui is probably the best-known tradition observing Earth Harmony, however there are others including the Burmese Yattara, Hindu Vastuvidya, Madagascan Vintana and the European system of Location. In pre-industrial Europe, local and national systems of Earth Harmony existed everywhere, part of everyday life. This harmonious craft brings the place and person in perfect tune with one another, with the consequent reduction in bad influences and the enhancement of the beneficial character of the site.

4.0 out of 5 stars
European Feng Shui,
By A Customer
This review is from: Earth Harmony: Places of Power, Holiness & Healing (Paperback)
I am both a landscape architect and an archaeologist, and the theories behind the idea of what makes places sacred or lose that sacredness makes up what one might call "European Feng Shui." This book should be required for those interested in Europe's version of "Sacred Location" and place design with the "Anima Loci" (Spirit of Place) always to be kept in mind. This is a living tradition. Pennick's books are always well-researched and wonderfully illustrated. This book is a gem, and I haven't come across anything like it. I hope he does some more work along these lines, especially in ways to apply these concepts to protecting and respecting places of power. I give it five stars for the excellent content and illustrations, but my copy had some problems with ink fading and smears, and the book design as far as text layout etc. should be rethought out for clarity, which brings it down to four stars.
