Synopsis
"To dowse," says the author of this definitive study of the divining art, "is to search with the aid of a handheld instrument such as a forked stick or a pendular bob on the end of a string - for anything: subterranean water flowing in a narrow underground fissure, a pool of oil or a vein of mineral ore, a buried sewer pipe or electrical cable, an airplane downed in a mountain wilderness, a disabled ship helplessly adrift in a gale, a lost wallet or dog, a missing person, perhaps a buried treasure." Co-author of The Secret Life of Plants, Christopher Bird, has filled this book with exciting, documented stories, most of them illustrated with photographs and diagrams. It provides a complete history of the art of dowsing around the world and discusses in detail the various existing theories attempting to explain this extraordinary phenomenon., "To dowse," says the author of this definitive study of the divining art, "is to search with the aid of a handheld instrument such as a forked stick or a pendular bob on the end of a string - for anything: subterranean water flowing in a narrow underground fissure, a pool of oil or a vein of mineral ore, a buried sewer pipe or electrical cable, an airplane downed in a mountain wilderness, a disabled ship helplessly adrift in a gale, a lost wallet or dog, a missing person, perhaps a buried treasure."

- l***t (53)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI received my order on time as seller promised. I had questions prior to it being shipped. The seller quickly responded putting my mind at ease. I had previously purchased this same item from 2 other sellers in which I made several attempts to contact, but they would not respond, yet they had already received pymt. I ended up canceling those. Sellers like this one restored my faith on purchasing from EBAY. Item was in perfect condition n packaged very well. Thank you!
- r***0 (42)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI paid for this movie on 07/05. By 07/24, the tracking showed that my parcel has been waiting at an USPS facility in my for a week. I contacted the seller. eBay issued a refund. Surprise! today, 08/01, the movie arrived well packed. I watched it. Excellent condition and video quality; great price also. Wanted to pay for it (again)so I contacted the seller to find out how. Regretfully, they say they were “unable to retain payment after a refund has been issued”. A real shame. Snail Mail’s fault
