Preface to the second edition More thanks are owed: to Jörg Schauberger for taking the time to correct, clarify and expand some of the text of the first edition, and to all at Floris Books for taking a leap of faith with an unknown author.

He was unable to continue with any of the projects that he had previously been working on. He was isolated and housebound. Prevented from working on any outward, practical ventures, he turned inward. The drawings were made on lined paper and most of them had no accompanying text. For me, they allow a glimpse of the world as Viktor Schauberger saw it. They show his observation of the patterns in Nature, and his recognition of their significance. Some of them look like eddies in a stream; others like cogs in a machine. Still others could be interpreted either way. They are all part of a continuum, showing his fascination with the unending processes he saw at play around him. They demonstrate his motto: ‘kapieren und kopieren,’ comprehend and copy; in other words, first understand Nature and then copy it. ...
