Understanding the I Ching

| This book is a concise, thorough, and lucid presentation of the I Ching-its history, structure, and uses-in a surprisingly small volume. The author gives a fascinating description of the history of the I Ching's development, in so doing breaking down the standard Western misconceptions about it-first among them, its reputation as a fortune-telling device. He also shows the ways in which the I Ching has influenced Western thought. Throughout the book, there is description of the practical uses of the I Ching-including instructions for casting and reading it-and an explanation of why the random act of "throwing the I Ching" is a revelation of the qualities of the present moment.
