    Today we are standing helpless and perplexed. With no glimmer of improvement anywhere in sight, we feel hopelessly propelled towards a forlorn future. It is understandable therefore than an increasing number of people, sick and tired of this insane activity, are now seeking ways to return to Mother Nature.
    Viktor Schauberger (1885–1958)
    
    Nature as Teacher, the second volume of the Eco-Technology series which presents the original, passionate and convincing research of Viktor Schauberger in translation for the first time, looks at the ways in which we can return to the vital natural cycles that have been interrupted by modern unthinking technologies.
    
    Schauberger was a pioneering genius who combined keen observation of Nature with intuitive brilliance and a sharp engineer's brain. One of the first genuine environmentalists, he was predicting ecological catastrophe in the 1930s when no-one else could see it coming. Schauberger's predictions are now being proven right. He foresaw:
    
    - Global warming and its devastating consequences
    - Increasing violence and lawlessness as the direct result of destructive methods which block Nature's energies and balance.
    - The destruction of the world's forests and ecosystems.A fearless exponent of natural energy who revelled in doing battle with contemporary orthodox scientists, his work is enjoying a worldwide revival because he was able to convey how an understanding of Nature's subtle energies is essential to our survival. This, and the fact that he developed free energy machines by harnessing the magical processes of Nature, has made Viktor Schauberger truly a man of our times.
    
    Following the success of The Water Wizard, Nature as Teacher details Schauberger's thinking about environmental catastrophe. It includes correspondence with contemporaries and, in particular, his feelings of frustration at the blindness of those in mainstream science who seemed to him to be more concerned with their own welfare and their pride than with the fate of humanity.
    
    This volume gives tremendous insight into what is happening on the Earth today and presents practical solutions on how we may yet save our precious world. Most telling is Schauberger's elucidation of the vital natural cycles that modern unthinking technologies have interrupted and harmed, sometimes irreparably.
    
    The Eco-Technology series makes available for the first time Viktor Schauberger's original writings and passionate debates. Callum Coats has painstakingly collected, translated and edited the material for what promises to be the most definitive study yet of this extraordinary man's life and work.

    Medical providers and specialists alike refer to Dr. Alexis as a "medical superhero" for sharing her journey to discover pain relief and a chemical-free "cure" from an obscure bladder disease that mainstream medicine states is "incurable."    On its surface, Interstitial Cystitis: A Personal Journey of COMPLETE Healing! is a book that speaks to the indomitable spirit of a patient, Tracy Alexis PhD, who suffered with (and cured) Interstitial Cystitis and Fibromyalgia with herbs and supplements.  However; the timing of this book and its enlightening "medical self-advocacy" section, specifically, could not be MORE providential as every-day Americans struggle to navigate a broken health care system that has become common fodder for political aggrandizement.  Hospitals are suing and bankrupting patients for astronomically high medical service charges that are not covered by a patient’s insurance, and doctors are equally crushed by the burdensome federally-regulated care and oversight of their patients.  This book – endorsed by doctors -  empowers its readers to stand up to America’s broken health care system…and prevail! Interstitial Cystitis: A Personal Journey of COMPLETE Healing! was written for both health care providers and patient-sufferers of IC (and Fibromyalgia) to bless those who suffer from so-called "diseases" many providers say are hopeless and incurable.

This program highlights startling new studies that have identified "biodiversity hotspots" around the globe, lands that are critical to the health of the biosphere, lands which are under the care of indigenous peoples and are identified by multinational business interests as prime targets for massive resource extraction.

    Do you enjoy birdwatching? Would you like to learn a little more about the early conservations efforts to protect wild birds? In the Preface to The Bird Study Book, Pearson tells us “This book was written for the consideration of that ever-increasing class of Americans who are interested in acquiring a greater familiarity with the habits and activities of wild birds. Attention is also given to the relation of birds to mankind and the effect of civilisation on the bird-life of the country. ” An avid ornithologist, T. Gilbert Pearson (1873-1943) was a co-founder in 1905 of the National Association of Audubon Societies of which he was first secretary and then president for many years. He was also a pioneer of the conservation movement in the United States, international bird protection and broad nature education for school-aged children. (Audubon Magazine. 42: 370–371. Nov-Dec 1943)
