Description

Description from Harvard LibraryCloud

Author Alberts S. Lyons outlines the rich history of these methods of prediciton, discusses the myriad ways in which they have been practiced, and offers an explanation the basic principles involved. The reader will derive an excellent understanding of each of these longstanding ways of prognostication. Most chapters are concluded with a sample reading, case studies of the system in question applied to real-life or historical situations, and an interpretation of why and how people find these practices satisfying (as well as an unbiased summary of present opinions on the system's validity). Accompanying this substantial text is a rich panoply of illustrations collected from all over the world. — -book jacket.
