Reviews

From the Ecologist, March 2007:

"Schauberger was a visionary whose ideas were so far ahead of his time that they are still hard to comprehend now. Even attempting to summarise them in a short review would be next to meaningless. What is most important about the man, though, to which Cobbald's elegantly written biographical account of his life provides a wonderful introduction, is his belief that if we want to live with nature, we should spend time watching and learning from it. Schauberger spent his life doing just this, and for those of us too busy to notice the changing of the seasons, as much as anything this book is a salient reminder of the merits of slowing down, taking time and asking why"

From The Scientific & Medical Network Review, Winter 2006:

"I have reviewed a number of books about Viktor Schauberger since Alick Bartholomew began publishing these in the early 1990's. His own book came out a couple of years ago, and he writes the foreword for this one. Readers unfamiliar with Schauberger will find this an excellent place to start. The author brings in biographical insights and explains the context in which his work arose. The text is also interspersed with some stimulating quotations and hand drawings. She brings out the influence of Goethe in a way that clarifies the parallel with contemporary Goethean science. His basic vision and philosophy was to understand the processes of nature from within, and then to devise technologies that imitated these processes. He contended that modern civilisation is based on destructive forms of energy use and technological exploitation, which can only take us down a correspondingly destructive path. As one who is convinced that our attitude to nature must undergo a complete revolution, I regard the work of Schauberger as essential reading."
