“You will find classifications, analyses of I Ching structure, different methods of relationships between the hexagrams, temporal cycles, calculations of the probability of transformation, and methods of divination… permitting all who use or study the I Ching to exploit its potential and comprehend its internal logic.”
         --Medecine Chinoise & Medecines Orientals

The I Ching Handbook is the very best compendium of study aids, technical resources, and useful information on the I Ching, or Book of Changes, the best-known and  most widely read text from early Chinese culture. Dr. Hacker's text provides information that formerly has been available only to those who read Chinese, or to those having experience with formal logical systems.

The text describes the many views of the I Ching, particularly its use for prediction, its structure and origin, the function of yin and yang lines, emblems, and trigrams. The hexagrams are described in detail, each with an English name derived from the consensus of translators' insights.

Also discussed are the nuclear trigrams, and the stories, “flowers," and cycles that are formed by the textual sequence. Dr. Hacker has made deeper levels of meaning and insight from the I Ching accessible to the reader.
