In this time of self-awareness and self-interest, The Chinese
Zodiac takes an alternative and hilarious look at all 12 signs of
the Chinese Zodiac, mixing together animal and human facts and
drawing on themes such as personality, love, health and
lifestyle, school/work to create a fresh and entertaining look at
ourselves accompanied by quirky and colourful illustrations in
this full-colour gift book.
The Chinese zodiac follows the moon (rather than constellations,
as in the Greco- Roman zodiac system). It is divided into a
12-year cycle, with a different animal representing each year.
The philosophy is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, and the
zodiac, combined with the principles of yin and yang and the five
elements, asserts a remarkable influence over people's decisions
and beliefs.
