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."

"From
Jane’s fascination with her subject comes a curiosity to discover how Schauberger’s mind
worked. For Viktor was an intuitive and
a visionary – an engineer more than a natural scientist, whose
preoccupation was to understand Nature’s intriguing processes. Jane Cobbald
has given us valuable insights into Viktor’s worldview. She has skilfully
worked his voice into the text, quoting anecdotes that give a flavour of
his personality."
Alick Bartholomew, author of Hidden Nature: the startling insights
of Viktor Schauberger,

"(Viktor's quotations give) me
a feeling that Viktor himself could have been standing
behind your shoulder when you wrote this book."
