Book Description

January 2003
Viktor Schauberger, 1885-1958, was a radical pioneer of the study of the subtle energies in nature and the importance of living water in all natural processes. From unusually detailed observations of the natural world, he pioneered a completely new understanding of how nature works. He foresaw, and tried to warn against global waste and costly ecologial destruction of our age. Here are his insights in contemporary, accessible language.

His amazing discoveries--which address sick water, ailing forests, climate change and, above all, renewable energy--have dramatic implications for how we need to work with nature and its resources. Protesting the harmful effects of modern technology, Schauberger applied his theories to create prototypes for pollution-free energy machines.

More About the Author

As a publisher of mind-body-spirit books for 35 years, I felt that of all the books I had published (which included Jonathan Livingston Seagull in 1972), the 6 books on Viktor Schauberger's insights into Nature's workings were the most significant.
However, when I realised that they appealed mainly to a more specialised audience, I decided to write Hidden Nature, to bring Schauberger's topical research up to date for a wider audience. I was part of the editorial team that published Rachel Carson's Silent Spring in 1962, and ever since have been campaigning against our society's violation of Nature.
My latest book The Story of Water (US ed. The Spiritual Life of Water) was published in 2010. I am now working on its sequel: The Life of Gaia. (website: www.AlickBartholomew.co.uk)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on Schauberger, November 11, 2005
This review is from: Hidden Nature: The Startling Insights of Viktor Schauberger (Paperback)
Alick Bartholomew has done a fantastic job in the writing of this book. While the few other books on Schauberger, most notably the books Living Energies, and the Eco-Technology series from Callum Coats, and of coarse, Olof Alexanderson's Living Water (the original pioneer) disect Schauberger's work...Alick puts it in simple, easy to read and understand words.
Many times I found that Coats' literal translation from German to English a bit much to take. Bartholomew takes all of Schauberger's conceptual ideas, and breaks them down into a series of (shall we say) modern English, comprehendable, and brilliant formats. The work is quite simply excellent. There were a number of times when I read through Callum Coats writings and was left with an unmistakable feeling of "what the heck did I just read...!" Not so with Bartholomew's writing.
Chapters include: Schauberger's Vision; Different Kinds of Energy; Attraction & Repulsion of Opposites; Nature's Patterns & Shapes; Energy Production; Motion, Key to Balance; Atmosphere/Electricity; The Nature of Water; Hydrological Cycle; Formation of Springs; How Rivers Flow; Supplying Water; The Role of the Forests; Tree Metabolism; Soil Fertility and Cultivation; Organic Cultivation; The Energy Revolution; Harnessing Implosion Power; Viktor Schauberger & Society and more.
I am not trying in any way to detract from buying one of Coats' books - they are a wealth of information, and the work is simply outstanding. What Bartholomew has done with HIS book, is put it in language that anyone can easily understand and comprehend in its entirity. The book is very well written, the illustrations are excellent, and all-in-all, it's probably the best book to start with in your exploration of Viktor Schauberger.
