first insights March 19, 2008
Having read snippets about this man for nearly a decade, I decided to buy this book. I was not disappointed! It's a kind of biography of a man who much like Tesla, was way ahead of his contemporaries, and sadly whose ideas were suppressed and later fell into relative obscurity. Not only was his intuitive science paradigm shifting, but his philosophy is instantly appealing and rings true - dead centre. In fact the more I read the more I realised how he was summing up intuitive feelings I have had since an early age about the wrong way that we are all collectively going. The author has done a fantastic job of making the ideas of a genius approachable to anyone. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in sustainability, ecotechnology, organic agriculture and the wonders of Nature!

As somebody who was never interested in Science at school, this book comes as a revelation. Alick Bartholomew has done an excellent job of simplifying Viktor Shauberger's work. It won't take you long to grasp the basics of what he discovered.... That there are reasons why so many problems exist in our world today. Disease, war, famine, cancer, environmental/mental health issues, degradation. All our problems can now be attributed to the fact that we decided it was more in our interests to create fire and not water. In essence - Death instead of Life. But Viktor Shauberger's understanding of Nature and motion go way beyond these simple ideas and show us an alternative way of thinking about our world and ourselves. I would highly recommend buying this book and part 1 in the Eco-technology series: Nature as Teacher: New Principles in the Working of Nature. These books together have made me open my eyes to the possibility that almost anything is possible, if only we would choose to understand and copy Nature.
Brilliant book summarizing Victor Schauberger's ideas February 5, 2004

Hidden Nature is a fully comprehensive breakdown of Victor Schauberger's stunning ideas and observations. Alick Bartholomew strips away the complexity of Callum Coates book 'Living energies', and simplifies the task of understanding Schauberger's main themes. It is presented within the context of our unfolding ecological drama. Terence McKenna once said that our attempts to combat global warming and environmental degeneration were ‘like trying to turn around a moving battleship with an oar.’ Schauberger demonstrated that suction forces are greater than explosive forces, and that nature utilizes both forces for either growth or decay. He stated as far back as 1920 that our culture would significantly reduce Biodiversity if we continued to exploit the latter energy. His central assertion was that we cannot reverse this trend with our present technology, and his understanding of the subtle properties of water and its role in the ecosystem is still groundbreaking. This book will most certainly transform you views on water. The graphics are the clearest I’ve seen in any book on Schauberger and includes an up to date snapshot of the current available technology. I highly recommended reading this book first if you want to learn about Schauberger’s natural science.
