Anyone who enjoyed the latest His Dark Materials series on television and who was intrigued by the use there of the I Ching will definitely find this book interesting. The author has recognised the difficulties in presenting an explanation of I Ching clearly and states that he’s worked to create “a straightforward yet comprehensive guide that respects the original translation but cuts through its complexities.” Suitable for beginners and those already using I Ching, the introduction is very helpful in guiding you to what you should or don’t need to read, although there’s lots of interesting history and analysis of the meanings for everyone here. The descriptions and instructions are simply written and easy to understand, and importantly they are accompanied by superb graphics which really help to get the message across.
