  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.

  Saving Ryan - The 30-Year...

  Saving Ryan is the inspiring story by physician-scientist Dr. Emil Kakkis about his journey to develop a new, first-ever treatment for an ultra-rare genetic disease called MPS. The scientist had great challenges getting grant and industry support for this rare disease despite the solid science behind doing the treatment. Simultaneously across the country, Mark Dant was in a quest to save his 9-year-old son, Ryan, afflicted by MPS for which there was no cure. Through extraordinary persistence, and with a clock-ticking on Ryan’s declining health, Mr. Dant eventually learns of Dr. Kakkis and his work, whose enzyme replacement therapy could potentially treat Ryan successfully. With renewed hope of saving his son’s life, Mr. Dant turns his attention to fundraising through his own Ryan Foundation to support the continued development of the life-saving treatment. Through an extraordinary series of obstacles and heartaches, Dr. Kakkis develops a successful treatment and ultimately gains the required support of a biotech company to complete the project. Despite early success treating MPS patients, the FDA’s abruptly changing policies caused great uncertainty as to whether the therapy would ever get approved – leading to a dramatic showdown at an FDA Advisory Committee meeting.

  A scrutiny of how algorithm has been widely used in order to perform any task has been done here. The step-by-step solution to any problem is an algorithm.  
  The set of rules and steps which should be followed so that the task is performed smoothly, is called an algorithm. It is the guidelines presented/ listed in a systematic way which is required while performing the task. 
  The era of modernization where computer holds almost all the importance is also based on an algorithm. There are multiple problem-solving operations which require certain guidelines so that the goals are achieved. The languages of the computer which builds a relation between machine and humans work on these algorithms. No wonder the world knows what to do and how but the computer needs guidelines! 
  The instructions provided by the user makes it possible for the computer to work out the problem-solving statement. There have to be some standards of the algorithm that the device should understand. The algorithm is not only used in computers but it also holds great utilization in cooking and mathematics. 
  The algorithm can be in various ways but as for coding there are has to be certain specific coded terms. The algorithm should be simple so that it is easy to understand and can be followed. There are various areas where algorithms are used in mathematics. The big problems which need expert solutions need proper methodology. This method is provided by algorithms. It is not necessary that the algorithms should be short. It varies from problem to problem. The mathematics subject has always been a tough one. Many difficult problems need proper step-by-step explanation. The different answers to various problems can be efficiently explained by algorithms provided. The simpler specifications help to solve bigger problems as well. The algorithm contains the constrained set of instructions in understandable language. The more procedure-oriented problems appear more need of algorithm is required. The algorithm used in computers is different based on the type of problem. The algorithm can be of several types in computers, such as string operator type, recursive backtracking and divide and operator. Randomized operator algorithms are also of great use. There are various properties of algorithms such as they should be input and output specified. They should be definite and effective. The finiteness of algorithm should be maintained by the means of input and output specified. It means that the input should be given to the processor and then output should be received. The moment when a computer receives the input, the command is achieved and it starts its working to produce the output. The relation between the input and output should be maintained. The algorithm should be specific and if these properties are hindered, the system is malfunctioned. The command and coding require a brief introduction. The algorithm provided is that brief instruction which acts as the helping hand for the coder. 
  Not only in computers, but even in mathematics, the formula provided is kind of a helping hand for any problem. The algebraic problems are in need of some pre-instructions which ensure the absolute results.

  All About Ball Lightning - Also...

  Ball Lightning is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings of these weird balls. 
   It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
   St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon are included too. 
   There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
   My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
   In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
   This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.
