Schauberger (1885-1958), born in Austria, looked at the interaction of water with the forest from a mystical point of view and developed radical theories regarding human interaction with nature, and water management in particular. These ideas led him into an unsuccessful life-long fight for acceptance by academia and its institutions. Editor and translator Callum arranged a large amount of Schauberger's writings into one large volume, Eco-Technology , which the publisher has seen fit to publish in four thematic volumes. This first of the four projected volumes contains a selection of writings (with some introductory material), translated from the German, on water pollution and its causes and consequences. Much of the material is from Schauberger's Our Senseless Toil; the Cause of the World Crisis , published in the 1930s. Distributed in the US by Access Publishers Network.
