Lost Cities of Atlantis, Ancient Europe & The Mediterranean is Childress's sixth volume in a series that questions mainstream theories about humanity's past and attempts to answer questions that the establishment doesn't want asked. Childress documents his journeys around the Mediterranean and Atlantic regions where he finds evidence pointing to the exis- tence of an ancient core civilisation that con- firms the stuff of legends. His quest to find the lost civilisation of Atlantis takes in the discovery of ancient art and artefacts, maps, megalithic constructions, science and tech- 416 7340; Europe—NEXUS Office, ph +31 (0321) 38 0558, fax (0321) 31 8892; UK— NEXUS Office, ph 01342 32 2854, fax 01342 32 4574; USA/Canada—Adventures Unlimited, PO Box 74, Kempton, IL 60946, USA, ph (815) 253 6390, fax (815) 253 6300 "Comprehend and copy Nature!" was the motto of Austrian-born genius Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) who foresaw humanity's oblivion if it continued to exploit the planet. Yet his ideas and inventions were suppressed for challenging the prevail- ing scientific orthodoxy and the vested inter- ests of the energy lobby. In Living Energies, Callum Coats exam- ines the concepts and applications that Schauberger developed from his observa- tions of Nature's creative processes. (See extract in this issue, plus Coats' article in NEXUS vol. 2#14.) That Nature builds with inward spirals, generating energy by suction and implosion rather than by pressure and explosion, has enormous implications in this modern technological world. Schauberger's principles can be applied to agriculture, aviation, forestry, power genera- tion, water management, and more. His designs for gravity-defying UFO-style craft, free-energy-powered heating/cooling sys- tems, water-cleaning techniques and home- power generators embody radical concepts that should have been in the public domain long ago. Gracing Coats' elegant text is a wealth of diagrams, illustrations, photographs and documentation. In making Schauberger's brilliance more widely known, Coats per- forms a worthy service in changing how we think about energy and inspiring us to adopt systems in harmony with Nature.
