A printed version of the popular online Grandiloquent Dictionary,
featuring over 3000 rare and obscure words. A must-have for any
logophile.
"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.
