Hidden Nature: The Startling Insights of Viktor Schauberger
Austrian naturalist Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) was far ahead of his time. From his unusually detailed observations of the natural world, he pioneered a completely new understanding of how nature works. He also foresaw, and tried to warn against, the global waste and ecological destruction of our age.
This book describes and explains Schauberger's insights in contemporary, accessible language. His remarkable discoveries -- which address issues such as sick water, ailing forests, climate change and, above all, renewable energy -- have dramatic implications for how we should work with nature and its resources.

If sentences such as this:
"...this refinement of the energy at the leaves gives [the tree] a kind of increased homeopathic potency; so that when they receive the highly energized drops of falling rainwater there is an immediate transfer of pure energy or life force."
make sense to you, then this book is for you. Keep in mind you will have to uncritically accept the author's belief system (a new-age amalgamation of alchemy, anthroposophy, theosophy, homeopathy and faux - eastern mysticism, among others), just as he uncritically duplicates in this book "facts" such as that the heart does not pump blood or that the strength of an adult male's deltoid muscle is reduced "through the negative effect of certain types of rock music, such as heavy metal and hard rock". Too bad, because I was interested in reading Viktor Schauberger's thoughts and theories, but in this book they have been inseparably mixed with those of his followers.

When you leave out the part with the obviously sponsored mentioning of the CO2 global warming Hoax this is a sensational book, but as I sad, stick to parts where the author is describing the sensational observations of Schauberger.

My older sister gave me this book and I tried my darnedest to get into it. There are some fascinating parts...but then some really woowoo parts. I'm going to pass it on to Mark, who's much more willing to tease apart fact and fiction.

This is the best non fiction book I have read. It is truly amazing, read it with an open mind and be prepared to be blown away!
