• The culinary world of Israel: a symphony of smells, tastes and cultures
• Recipes inspiring all senses and easy to prepare
• Tom Franz: the face of modern Germany in Israel
For Tom Franz cooking has to do with joy, with the love of life itself. To him every meal is »food
for the soul«. In a country where 65% of the area consists of desert and the Dead Sea, he has
discovered the Garden of Eden rich in legendary vegetables and fruits. A land of plenty. In
this book Tom Franz allows us to catch a glimpse of Israel's cuisine nourished by innumerable
memories of immigrated Jews from across the globe. Israel is a culinary melting pot shaped
by immigrants from all over Europe, Russia and the USA, as well as the Far and Middle East.
Mediterranean ingredients, traditional Jewish cuisine, Arabic spices, modern recipes - an incredible
diversity of various elements creates utmost exciting combinations. Israel is state-of-the-art
when it comes to culinary delights. Characterised by innovation and openness to go beyond
the conventional and adopt foreign influences. An extraordinary, magnificent book! Let us build
bridges!
Tom Franz Rhinelander, 39, worked at a hospital and a nursing home in Israel for 18 months
while completing his civilian service. The country put a spell on him. After returning to Germany
he studied law and worked as an international lawyer until his emigration to Israel in 2004. Three
years later he converted to Judaism and married Dana, a woman from a family of Holocaust
survivors. They live in Tel Aviv with their 1-year-old son. Tom Franz gave up his job as a lawyer
and is turning his passion for cooking into a career.

»Tom takes us back to our actual cuisine, only with a modern touch. Tom represents something
that is missing from the Mediterranean mentality of Israelis: professionalism, exact and accurate
work.« Michal Anski, jury member on Masterchef
»A native German familiarises Israelis with their own traditions. He stands for a new type of
Judaism - trendy, modern, appealing.« Dana Franz

• 80 Vegetarian recipes using domestic produce
• Easy to prepare
• Inclusive nutritional suggestions and lists of recommended food for each type of
constitution
Ayurveda is booming these days. More and more people have come to appreciate the healing
effects of Ayurveda-based alimentation. Still, most of us are not aware that cooking along
Ayurvedic principles can easily be done with domestic produce, i.e. everyday herbs, vegetables
and fruits. Ample proof for this is provided by the collection of 80 Vegetarian recipes from one
of the insider tips of Ayurvedic cuisine, the »Le Cocon« in the Bernese Jura. They harmonise
perfectly with the seasons, are easy to prepare yet at the same time very refined, and offer not
only a feast for the palate but for all the senses. An introductory section explains the basics of
Ayurveda, the three Doshas, the signification of the digestive fire, the three Gunas, the six flavours
as well as the relevance of the seasons for Ayurvedic cuisine. There are nutritional suggestions
and lists of recommended food for each type of constitution. Helpful hints and tricks render it easy
to integrate Ayurvedic cuisine into the everyday life of working people and families.

work therapy. Once an enthusiastic hobby cook, he developed into a passionate chef focusing on
whole food cuisine.

Baking with Buckwheat
978-3-03800-678-7
22.90 EUR
Cover: Cardboard binding
Extent: 120 pages
89 colour photos
Subject areas: baking, health kitchen
• From cakes and tarts to wafers, cookies, breads, crepes, and quiches
• 70 delicious, gluten free recipes
• The first baking book based exclusively on buckwheat recipes
Buckwheat is not a crop but belongs to the family of knotweeds. One hundred years ago it
ranked among the most important food items in many regions of Europe. Due to our altered,
more conscious approach to healthy alimentation it currently experiences a genuine renaissance.
Buckwheat is gluten free and helps stabilizing the equilibrium of acids and bases, moreover
it has a positive impact on the glycemic index and produces balancing effects with high blood
pressure, diabetes and obesity. Subtle and nutty, it bestows upon pastries a unique and
unmistakable flavour. This is the first cookbook on the subject written in German, presenting plenty
of recipes based exclusively on buckwheat. As buckwheat requires an entirely different method of
preparation, the author has rethought each recipe from scratch.
Modesta Bersin has worked as nutritional and diet consultant for 25 years. Training in prevention
and naturopathy. For many years she has been dedicated to growing and using silver buckwheat,
and eventually also started to develop recipes. She delivers courses and lectures on the topics of
nutrition and health enhancement.

Bitter - The Forgotten Taste
From Artichoke To Chicory Recipes For Health And
Pleasure
978-3-03800-924-5
29.95 EUR
Cover: Hardcover
Extent: 240 pages
More than 100 colour photos
• Lust for Bitter!
• Approaching an unusual pleasure step by step
• Recipes, product information, and a »bitter« medicine chest
Bitter is an almost forgotten taste that currently experiences a renaissance both in culinary arts and
healthcare. While modern breeding processes have almost entirely eliminated bitter elements from
cultivated vegetables, Southern Europe still offers a variety of bitter vegetables and citrus fruit,
while herbs from our local forests and meadows are also rich in bitter aromas.
The book portrays the incredibly rich variety of food items carrying more or less intense bitter
notes. Starting with only mildly bitter ingredients, the bitterness increases with each new chapter
and brings us closer to this unfamiliar source of pleasure. Featured recipes even include desserts
and tasty drinks such as healthy smoothies, aperitifs, or spirits. A »bitter« medicine cabinet nicely
rounds off the book. Informative texts shed light on sensory, culinary, and cultural historical
contexts.
Manuela Rüther, born 1979, worked as chef in various award-winning restaurants after finishing
school. Since 2008 freelance photographer and author. Her photos, stories, and recipes received
numerous awards and are regularly published in magazines, books, and her blog.

• A picturesque book with a vast variety of ideas
• 90 inventive dishes for a simple but savoury camping cuisine
• The ultimate book for all campers and outdoor freaks
The star of «Camping Cuisine» is a small blue trailer called «Manolo» which in the meantime
has reached the age of retirement and rests under the shade of apple trees in an orchard in
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In this vehicle, recipe writer Claudia Seifert, photographer Julia
Hoersch and stylist Nelly Mager set off with their whole kit and caboodle to prove that cooking
on a camping trip - despite the difficult circumstances - need not be limited to simple spaghetti
with tomato sauce, sausages and potato salad or takeaway French fries, especially not when
kids are around. Ample evidence is provided by this book and its more than 80 inventive and
fanciful recipes. Even during a camping holiday we want to relish a good meal. Preparing dishes
outside amidst nature, using wild herbs or flowers picked during a forest walk, then enjoying a feast
together under the open sky - no star restaurant could possibly offer a more sensuous ambiance.
Join the authors on their amusing camping trip full of culinary delights.

gates to Western authors and photographers, the result are breathtaking images. This unique
book comprises more than 100 original recipes of Chinese traditional vegetarian cuisine. All
recipes were prepared and photographed in Buddhist monasteries. However exotic, they are
easy to prepare in Western kitchens as well. The main ingredients such as vegetables, bamboo,
mushrooms, nuts, Tofu, Seitan, soy meat, Konnyaku as well as selected healing plants and
spices , can be obtained in Asia shops. Many of the ingredients can also easily be home-grown in
the garden. The vegetarian culinary art of ancient monasteries is coupled with the just as ancient ,
Chinese tradition of using healthy, balancing and life-prolonging food - in order to detoxify and
purge, in favour of good health, anti-ageing and a slim figure.

Following the tremendous success of his book »My wild plant cuisine«, the tireless chef and

latitudes for this book accompanied by 150 new recipes. The first-class chef from France practices
an enormously aromatic natural cuisine based on personally collected wild plants and firstrate regional products. His restaurant in Sinzig, the romantic smalltown where the Ahr joins the
Rhine, is an insider tip for gourmets. In this book, Jean-Marie Dumaine pays culinary tribute to
the classical »weeds« growing at the roadside. Hence he dedicates several recipes to popular
and widely common herbs such as nettles, knotweed, bear's garlic or sorrel. In the cuisine of
Dumaine spicy natural aromas become a culinary feast: Poppy pesto, dandelion blossom chutney,
hogweed pickles or lime-tree blossom mousse combined with further ingredients become exquisite
compositions: unmistakable and full of character. A wide selection of recipes from the refined
natural cuisine designed for gourmets, insurmountable in its genre.

This book presents with the help of 80 recipes - ranging from amuse-bouches and apéritifs, soups
and starters to main courses and desserts - the appealing preparation and presentation of dishes
in a glass. Served in a glass, the different layers produce astounding effects and the dishes hence
produce a particular taste sensation when the layers get mixed while eating. Recipes in a glass
are easy to prepare, simple to arrange and look utterly artful. The book not only shows how to
dramatically present dishes in a glass, but in more than half of the recipes the food is marinated,
cooked, stewed or roasted directly in the glass. Glass is suited perfectly for slow cooking of meat
and fish at low temperature in a vacuum (Sous-Vide method) which has many advantages: The
food remains succulent, vitamins and mineral material are preserved and preparation is utmost
simple. Baking and roasting in a glass is just as subtle and makes a pleasant change in your
cuisine.

they invite us to experiment and playfully use the often unexpected treasures of nature.
The author places strong emphasis on handling these food sources carefully, to value and make
the most out of them. A truly creative cooking experience where taste and flavour of seemingly
unimpressive ingredients unfold and develop to perfection.

cuisine and »urban gardening« to an even higher level of creativity.

Eating and fasting are two sides of the same coin. On the one hand the body longs to be built
up and strengthened, while on the other hand it needs to be detoxified with the help of fasting.
Raphael Schenker's book considers the topics of eating and fasting as interconnected and
examines them in a holistic way. It is based on the therapeutic fasting method of Dr. Randolph
Stone, founder of the polarity therapy developed over the course of 60 years. In the discussion on
how to eat properly the physical level is most often overrated. Man is a holistic entity that requires
nourishment on several different levels: emotions, life energy, knowledge and spirituality. The
same applies to fasting. Besides the body all other human levels should regularly be cleansed
as well: thoughts, attitudes, habits, beliefs and spiritual orientation. The book focuses on these
energetic aspects of eating and fasting. Apart from practical guidelines on cleansing and purifying
it provides helpful suggestions on how to shop and cook right, concrete case studies on eating and
fasting, useful recipes and countless tried and tested health tips.

the most common types of fish and seafood available in stores from A to Z, explains how to best
prepare each type and adds what each type can be replaced with if need be. Besides we learn

Already wise Confucius in ancient China fell in love with ginger and is said to not have missed
adding it to his meals. For ginger, besides being hot and incredibly aromatic, has much to offer.
That is why it became the focus of both cosmopolitan cuisine and modern science. Ginger is »hip«,
and even Central European supermarkets do not fail to offer it. Its various healing powers have
been scientifically confirmed: it soothes pain, lowers blood pressure, calms, dilutes blood, reduces
fever and supports cell protection. What an astonishing scientific career for such an unattractive
root. And the career is not yet finished: nowadays ginger, being a metabolism booster, has become
a popular dietary agent. But ginger does not only render healthy - it also tastes delicious.

have on him. An innovative version of a »winter vegetable plate« is followed by some brilliantly

Experience and cherish the treasures of nature through 100 exceptional recipes. The wild herbs
and plants that nature offers us year-round in abundant richness can be used in far more ways
than ordinary salads or wild spinach. What a firework of strong, intense aromas and manifold
nuances of flavors they can unfold on plate and palate is proven by the 100 recipes of creative wild
herb chef and innovator Jean-Marie Dumaine. For about 20 years has he devoted body and soul
to wild plant cuisine and thereby acquired fame for himself and his restaurant »Vieux Sinzig« in
Sinzig near Bonn as well as far beyond the region. Sorted according to the seasons he presents
100 extraordinary gourmet recipes that obtain their exceptional touch by skillfully using wild herbs
and plants. The plants used can be found everywhere throughout our latitude, the art consists in
unfolding the optimal potential of flavor by treating each herb in an appropriate way - used fresh

plant there are practical hints on collecting and harvesting, on their special aptitude for cooking and
their use. 100 seducing recipes for gourmets, photographed skillfully by Andreas Thumm.

Sensual Inspirations Taken from
Nature's Kitchen
Including a Lexicon of Flavour Combinations
978-3-03800-532-2
79.90 EUR
Extent: 272 pages
Subject areas: haute cuisine, nature's kitchen
• Including a lexicon of flavour combinations
• The key to the secrets of new taste combinations
• Perfumers' knowledge applied to the art of cooking
Molecular gastronomy is a thing of the past. The latest trend is a cuisine that relies on natural
products of the immediate surroundings. Stefan Wiesner is not only an alchemist in the kitchen,
but an utter wunderkind of gastronomy. At the 2010 congress »Lo mejor de la gastronomia« held
in Alicante, Spain the assembled professional audience compared him to Rene Redzepi from
Copenhagen, currently the world's greatest chef. For Stefan Wiesner the knowledge of perfumers
on the composition of scent families as well as the skilled use of modifiers that act as natural taste
intensifiers are among the most important sources for his search for new flavour combinations.
This knowledge is conveyed to him by perfumer Anton Studer who unfolds all his knowledge
acquired over long years in the shape of a comprehensive chart included in the book's annex. For
cooking, this valuable information from a perfumer's treasure chest represents a rich source of
inspiration, and within a cookbook it even accounts for a small sensation and world novelty. In his
latest book the »Sorcerer from Entlebuch« shows us all his new creations of the past two years.
A cookbook that revolutionizes the kitchen and opens up a totally new universe of flavours and
tastes, handing a magic key to a realm of extraordinary new dishes to both ambitious amateur
cooks and professionals.
Stefan Wiesner born and raised in Escholzmatt in Entlebuch (Switzerland). Cooking lessons,
work at several enterprises, return to his parents' restaurant »Rössli« in Escholzmatt, which he
runs together with his wife since 1989. 17 points in the Gault Millau. Stefan Wiesner is one of the
most inventive chefs of Switzerland: he is considered »alchemist and sorcerer of the kitchen«, an
inventor and sensually poetic artist among leading Swiss chefs. His first book »Gold Holz Stein«
received a number of awards.

• Practical advice, tips and tricks for ayurvedic cooking
• Short and concise overview of the basics of ayurvedic nutrition
• Instructions to determine one's individual constitutional type
Ayurveda, the oldest naturopathic system of the world, is a comprehensive theory on how to lead
a healthy and proper way of life. In Ayurveda, medicine and nutrition are not kept separate, food
is seen as nourishment and remedy at the same time. The ayurvedic philosophy is based on
the theory of the five elements, which in turn are associated with the three life forces - the three
Doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These three forces or bioenergies control all bodily and spiritual
functions and determine a person's individual physical constitution. An imbalance of the Doshas
can lead to physical disorders and illnesses as well as energetic disturbances (lethargy, poor
concentration, nervousness, etc.). The aim of ayurvedic nutrition is to cure these imbalances and
to restore and sustain the necessary balance that is the basis for a strong physical constitution.
Depending on constitution, metabolism and way of living, each person requires a different,
customized nutrition that brings the body back into balance, ensures a healthy metabolism and
provides for the excretion of accumulated waste and toxins.

freelance restaurant and catering manager in Mumbai. Living in Germany since 1993, he has been

as well as the Ayurveda house »Haus Annapurna« in Sachrang/Chiemgau together with his wife

Vegan chocolate? You bet! From classics like Sachertorte or chocolate amaretti, to new sweet
creations like almond-chocolate panna cotta or chocolate sushi, to little chocolate treats in the
form of spreads or chocolate yogurt for in between meals. Some of the featured recipes prove that
chocolate can lend a distinctive touch even to savoury dishes. All of them live up to the principle
»ingeniously simple«: They are simple and straightforward, and most of them are very easy to
realise. All ingredients can be found in almost any supermarket. Information on difficulty levels and
time needed facilitate planning. Soy- and gluten-free recipes are clearly highlighted by symbols,
but most of the recipes are soy-free anyway.

do I prepare everything to get my dishes ready as quickly as possible? These methods allow for
swift breakfasts from the blender, practical lunchboxes for work, or a quick dinner on days full of
stress.

• Baking by the fireside, on an open fire, in the earth, on the barbecue, in a stone oven
• More than 120 recipes made from 5 basic types of dough
• Including building instructions for a simple stone oven
There is nothing more traditional and archaic than sitting by the fire, baking a twist bread or hearty
flatbread. With only very few ingredients - flour, yeast, salt, and water - it is easy to bake various
types of flatbread, rolls, and crunchy bread on the fire, barbecue, or simply the conventional way in
a clay or pizza oven.
The book presents five basic types of dough that can be varied in a number of ways, for instance
with herbs, nuts, or further ingredients such as olives and cheese - in total it contains more than
120 recipes. They are easy to make even for beginners, as there is one standard method of
preparing the dough. In no time you can twist, knead, braid, or spread them into any desired shape
- a sensual experience that you can also enjoy by the fireside.
This »wild baking« leaves much room for improvisation: why not bake the bread directly on the
grill, spiked on some steel wire, or on a spade - we tell you how to do it! And those with a taste for
big, solid loaves better get themselves a bread or pizza oven. Building instructions are included at
the end of the book.

Albert Hofmann is undoubtedly the best known chemist of the 20th century, and his discovery of
LSD had a crucial influence on science, society and culture. In 1943 Hofmann experienced the
psychedelic effect of the mysterious substance while self-experimenting on his legendary bicycle
trip. His biography takes us on a journey through the 20th century: Starting with the mystical nature
experiences of his childhood, all the way to his discovery of LSD and Psilocybin at Sandoz in
Basel, ranging from adventurous travels to the long years of his life's eve, marked by a profound
interest in the philosophy of nature and an extremely rich social life. The authors tell us all about
the eventful history of LSD which after its discovery became the object of numerous clinical studies
but also of quite a few dubious experiments. They trace the path of LSD becoming the fuel of the
US youth and hippie movement in the sixties and paving the way for innovative forms of therapy.

• The first book ever on the significance of animals in shamanism
• By two internationally renowned experts on shamanism
• All the important things shamanic concepts can teach Westerners
Animals dominated the dawn of mankind. Their flesh, their fur, their tendons and bones helped
our prehistoric ancestors survive. The most ancient artworks created 40,000 years ago give
evidence of this. Animals play an important role also in shamanism: in trance, the early shamans
became one with their animal allies in order to detect and heal sources of illness in the invisible
worlds. They borrowed the animals' strength and litheness, their sense of smell and sharp eye,
the soundless sneaking, sniffing and determined attack. They were the shamans' schoolmasters,
showed them what was edible and what poisonous, and taught them the art of healing. Even today
many people are looking for their power animal, most often as a simple solution to make up for
various shortcomings. Genuine shamans however follow their mighty animal allies into suppressed
realms of shadow to negotiate with threatening powers. They bring to light all that is needed to heal
us, and not the things we wish for. The authors shed light on the different aspects of the ancient
relationship between man and animal from a shamanic perspective, based on decades of research
on shamanic cultures.
Dr. Claudia Müller-Ebeling art historian and ethnologist, specialized in visionary art, conducted
research on shamanism in Korea, in the Amazon region, and in Nepal for more than twenty years
and focuses on the fundamental principles of shamanic art. International lecturer and co-author of
various books, among others the reference book »Shamanism and Tantra in Nepal«.
Dr. Christian Rätsch ethnologist and ethno-pharmacologist, lecturer and author, studied ancient

• Dumaines favourite recipes featuring 100 of the most common wild herbs and plants
• Aromatic natural cuisine based on personally collected wild plants
Following the tremendous success of his book »My wild plant cuisine«, the tireless chef and
inventor Jean-Marie Dumaine has selected the 100 most frequent wild herbs and plants of our
latitudes for this book accompanied by 150 new recipes. The first-class chef from France practices
an enormously aromatic natural cuisine based on personally collected wild plants and firstrate regional products. His restaurant in Sinzig, the romantic smalltown where the Ahr joins the
Rhine, is an insider tip for gourmets. In this book, Jean-Marie Dumaine pays culinary tribute to
the classical »weeds« growing at the roadside. Hence he dedicates several recipes to popular
and widely common herbs such as nettles, knotweed, bear's garlic or sorrel. In the cuisine of
Dumaine spicy natural aromas become a culinary feast: Poppy pesto, dandelion blossom chutney,
hogweed pickles or lime-tree blossom mousse combined with further ingredients become exquisite
compositions: unmistakable and full of character. A wide selection of recipes from the refined
natural cuisine designed for gourmets, insurmountable in its genre.

Plants are more powerful than we commonly think. Being macroscopic creatures they
communicate the light forces of the cosmos and enliven the earth matter. All cultures, except the
one we are living in today, are aware of the psycho-spiritual dimensions of plants. In dreams or
ecstatic visions of shamans, plants appear as deities, Devas, or light angels who actively and
consciously interfere in earthly events and human history. Wolf-Dieter Storl, the distinguished plant
expert, demonstrates how the disrupted communication between human beings and plants can
be restored. An appendix featuring practical instructions for plant meditation helps to re-establish
contact with the plant Devas.

Wolf-Dieter Storl, ethnologist and cultural anthropologist, leads us to the roots of our culture and
with the help of the archaic knowledge of the Celts grants us an astounding access to nature and
healing methods. The Celts used to be the leading culture in most parts of Europe for almost 2000
years. Even after destruction of the druid culture the common people clang to the ancient wisdom
which they passed on orally and practically in the shape of country lore, fairy tales, legends,
seasonal rituals and in particular herbal and folk healing methods. The author introduces us to
a healing method not focused on active agents but on the witcheries and magic of plants. He
presents the most important healing and magical plants as well as the trees of the Celts in their
seasonal and cultural context, in healing and magic, and outlines the relevance of the Celtic annual
circle and tree calendar. The eight annual Celtic feasts and their rituals lead us through the annual
circle and show us how to tune ourselves back even today into the major rhythms of nature. With a

Subject areas: bear, shamanism
• The fascinating relationship between man and bear
Anywhere the bear lives, i.e. in the entire Northern hemisphere, he was considered an animal
of strength. He was not an ordinary animal but a kind of »forest man« whose shaggy fur was
hiding a human or even godly soul. He could understand men's thoughts and had healing powers.
Whoever dreams of a bear or has a strong encounter with a bear becomes a herbal healer and is
summoned to heal with plants. Besides the bear dreamer is the mightiest among medicine men
according to North America's natives. The Germanic people called their most efficient and reliable
healing plants »bear herbs« and sent their youngsters into the forest to experience their true nature
as »bear skinners«. Wolf-Dieter Storl, cultural anthropologist and ethno-botanist, lived himself in
bear habitats in the Rocky Mountains for many years and had frequent - sometimes dramatic encounters with bears. In this book he depicts the relationship between man and bear. The journey
leads into the bear caves of the Neanderthals, the bear cults of Siberian tribes of today, to cave
bears and teddy bears and last but not least to the bear city Bern where the author himself used to
live for several years. We find out about the bear goddess Artemis and the medicine bear of Indian
shamans and find numerous bear tales and stories from all over the world.

to be widespread in Central Europe but have been forgotten since. Many of these vegetables,
such as strawberry spinach, chervil beet, asparagus bean, sugar and oat root, are worth being
rediscovered in both garden and kitchen.
Background stories tell us their history, where they come from, how old they are, where they were
grown, who developed and cultivated them, complemented by portraits of people who work with
these rare treasures today.

Cover: Hardcover

Subject areas: mushroom, nature, ancient cultures,

• A competent and entertaining book on the mysterious fly agaric
• Details on its ritualistic use in ancient cultures and shamanism
• With astonishing findings from folklore, mythology, and religious studies
Being a poisonous mushroom, the fly agaric symbolises the dangers of nature, while at the same
time it is the emblem of luck.
Scientists consider the fly agaric to be probably the most ancient mind-altering drug of mankind.
This sacred mushroom accompanied shamans on their soul journeys to ghosts and gods, and
helped to search for things lost or the exploration of the future. The secret around its ritualistic use
was kept safe quite strictly in archaic cultures. Hints that allude to its use can be found in its name
(a mushroom for flying!), in legends of hermits who were looking for visions in the desert, in godly
myths and magic tales, in the stone of wisdom as known from alchemists, and in fantasy literature.
To this day, it is being used as painkiller and cure, especially with nervous symptoms.
In the shape of artefacts, the fly agaric has lately become part of our everyday culture. As a
popular symbol it stands for luck and grants temporary relief from our everyday worries.

Cover: Hardcover
Extent: 120 pages
80 colour and b/w photos
Subject areas: magic plants, shamanism, rituals
• The shamanic roots of the Germanic people
The Germanic culture was carried by shamanic mythology, its spirituality was inspired by
entheogenes, holy plants, smoking of psycho-active agents and intoxicating drinks. The Germanic
Temple was not an artificial building but a forest, the sacred grove. The trees were gods and
the plants had magic powers. Germanic shamanism was characterized by alrunas, the wise
seers, berserks, the cultic warriors, brewing women experienced with herbs and enthusiastic
skalds. In Germanic mythology we have direct access to shamanism. The god Wotan is the primal
shaman, the most shamanic of all Indo-Germanic gods. Wotan is the marshal of the universe, the
ecstatic striving for knowledge and cognition, the soul companion, master of entheogenes, the big
magician and protecting warrior. This book tells us about Germanic world trees, fool punks, magic
plants, oracle flowers, smoking agents, intoxicating drinks and rune magic. It opens up the almost
forgotten gates to the sacred grove and its wonder plants. It depicts rituals, shamanic practices, the
use of indigenous magic plants. It offers access to our pagan heritage and shamanic roots.

• Neophytes as valuable crops or healing plants
• An unprejudiced view on recently settled plants
• The latest book by bestselling author Wolf-Dieter Storl with Frank Brunke's breathtaking
plant photos
In his latest book bestselling author Wolf-Dieter Storl explains the nature and use of so-called
neophytes, i.e. plants that have settled in our region during the past decades: how they are valued
and used in their countries of origin, why they have migrated and what functions they have in their
new home. New plants such as the giant hogweed, the Canadian goldenrod or the Himalayan
balsam are currently the object of fervent discussions among nature lovers. They overgrow vast
areas and squeeze out the indigenous vegetation. Others, like ambrosia, are considered healthdamaging. Wolf-Dieter Storl challenges these superficial judgments and proves that neophytes
enrich the domestic flora, they are natural steps in the gradual resettlement of our continent, as
the Ice Age had practically eliminated all local vegetation. Yet the book does not only examine
biological, climatic and ecological conditions enabling new plants to flourish, but also highlights
ethnobotanical and cultural aspects. In their countries of origin many of these neophytes are
precious crops, healing plants, or sometimes even of sacred nature, used in Shamanic or religious
contexts.

tales. As a symbol of evil and a threat to human beings they were chased and nearly exterminated.
Even today, the relationship between man and wolves is characterized by extremes and ranges
from the image of a raging beast to deep fascination and even noncritical glorification. Whoever
approaches these animals without prejudice, and with empathy and patience, or tries to get familiar
with their way of living and their ecological background, will discover that wolves are extremely
multi-faceted, sensitive and fascinating creatures. Tanja Askani, falconer at the wildlife park
Lüneburger Heide, is one of few persons who managed to establish a close relationship with
wolves. In 1998 she raised her first orphan wolf puppy by hand - which marked the cornerstone of
her ever growing love for wolves. Today she is in charge of several wolf packs at the wildlife park
Lüneburger Heide. The book describes her life, her experiences and her adventures with wolves.
At the same time, it features a rich wealth of sound knowledge as well as new and surprising facts
about these fascinating animals unlike any other book written on the subject before.
Tanja Askani born in Czechoslovakia in 1962, lives in Germany since 1990, works as falconer at
the wildlife park Lüneburger Heide. Askani's interest in animals, especially wild animals, started
early. She learned to understand their behaviour and to interact with them. By raising a polar
she-wolf in 1998 (described in her book »Unsere Wölfin Flocke«) she laid the foundation for her
first pack of wolves. Today, she is in charge of several wolf packs at the wildlife park Lüneburger
Heide.

• A comprehensive, inspiring practice handbook, with fantastic works of art in and with
nature
• Projects for all ages, from early childhood to adulthood
Swimming snakes made of leaves, burning fireballs, clay trolls, recklessly balanced stone arcs and
artfully arranged, multicoloured autumn leaves
Land Art artists shape their works with their bare hands using whatever they find in nature. Land
Art is a colourful, adventurous art form, a combination of nature experience and exploration, of
adventure game and creation. It is fun, sharpens perception and fosters creative expressiveness.
Based on their year-long experience with Land Art workshops, the authors inspire us to create
our own nature artworks, and in a practical way explain - step by step - projects intended for
environmentalist and experimental pedagogy practices from kindergarten to adult training,
accompanied by many colour photographs. Apart from an introduction on how to develop ideas,
on popular natural materials and appropriate nature locations, as well as technical tips for different
possibilities of construction, the authors practically describe concrete examples of Land Art
projects for all age groups. Kindergarten kids learn to form a giant mandala or a large snow
hedgehog. School children are fascinated by a forest ghost train and miniature landscapes.
Adolescents like to attach self-made giant mobiles on tree tops, to light up rolling fireballs and let
natural artworks float on rafts. Adults stage the natural particularities of a place or create »inner
maps«. A comprehensive, inspiring practice handbook and a number of ideas for compositions in

We all collected stones at some point - on the roadside, on a mountain trip or when bathing in the
river. Both young and old have always been inspired and fascinated by stones. Still, we know very
little about them. Millions of years of the Earth's history can be traced back through the ancient
history of stones. A short introduction to the world of rocks describes the particularly frequent
stones of our region through short portraits so that even amateurs may recognize and distinguish
them. But stones also inspire a sensual experience, contemplation, exploration and touch. They
invite to play, to experiment and make up stories and open up ways to detect our own abilities
and potential in a playful way, to try new ideas as well as unusual viewpoints and behaviour. A
richly illustrated, vivid and diverse practical guide full of ideas and background information that
familiarizes both children and adults with the world of rocks and inspires inventive and creative
activity.

Extent: 160 pages

• 20 flying objects from simple to sophisticated; made from everyday household materials
• Featuring detailed construction guides and plans
• A playful introduction to physics
The ancient dream of flying came true long ago. Rockets have helped humans reach the moon and
venture deeper and deeper into space. Helicopters rescue people in emergencies, airplanes take
us to holiday destinations. Yet flying still remains a source of excitement and curiosity. Why does
a rocket fly without wings? How can a passenger plane weighing several tons take off? How can a
helicopter ascend? These questions can be answered by building and testing small scale models.
The book contains more than twenty models of rockets, helicopters, parachutes and airplanes
operated by jets, propellers and wings, from the very simple to the utmost sophisticated. Next
to construction manuals and plans a number of photos, drawings and sketches show us how to
construct these. Almost all models can be built with simple household materials. The flying models
are designed for indoor and, in case of no wind, outdoor use. Examining a flying object helps to
understand the concepts of rebound, uplift, approach angle, and flight stability and how all of these
can be improved.

• The history of LSD and the man who discovered it
• History of science, consciousness research and psychedelic
• Albert Hofmann was voted »greatest living genius« in 2007
Albert Hofmann is undoubtedly the best known chemist of the 20th century, and his discovery of
LSD had a crucial influence on science, society and culture. In 1943 Hofmann experienced the
psychedelic effect of the mysterious substance while self-experimenting on his legendary bicycle
trip. His biography takes us on a journey through the 20th century: Starting with the mystical nature
experiences of his childhood, all the way to his discovery of LSD and Psilocybin at Sandoz in
Basel, ranging from adventurous travels to the long years of his life's eve, marked by a profound
interest in the philosophy of nature and an extremely rich social life. The authors tell us all about
the eventful history of LSD which after its discovery became the object of numerous clinical studies
but also of quite a few dubious experiments. They trace the path of LSD becoming the fuel of the
US youth and hippie movement in the sixties and paving the way for innovative forms of therapy.
Albert Hofmann - an extraordinary person, mystic and researcher who remained open, curious and
devoted to creation until the very last breath he drew at the age of 102.

• The first book ever on the significance of animals in shamanism
• By two internationally renowned experts on shamanism
• All the important things shamanic concepts can teach Westerners
Animals dominated the dawn of mankind. Their flesh, their fur, their tendons and bones helped
our prehistoric ancestors survive. The most ancient artworks created 40,000 years ago give
evidence of this. Animals play an important role also in shamanism: in trance, the early shamans
became one with their animal allies in order to detect and heal sources of illness in the invisible
worlds. They borrowed the animals' strength and litheness, their sense of smell and sharp eye,
the soundless sneaking, sniffing and determined attack. They were the shamans' schoolmasters,
showed them what was edible and what poisonous, and taught them the art of healing. Even today
many people are looking for their power animal, most often as a simple solution to make up for
various shortcomings. Genuine shamans however follow their mighty animal allies into suppressed
realms of shadow to negotiate with threatening powers. They bring to light all that is needed to heal
us, and not the things we wish for. The authors shed light on the different aspects of the ancient
relationship between man and animal from a shamanic perspective, based on decades of research
on shamanic cultures.

Ayahuasca is one of the strongest shamanic cures. The drink brewed from several ethnobotanically significant plants of the Amazonas region has resounding physical and astounding
psychical effects. Ayahuasca is the basis of culture for many peoples, an institution that creates
and preserves culture. Ayahuasca is a means of cognition, showing humans their place in the
universe and revealing true reality. Ayahuasca - when properly used - offers cure and health,
grants personally relevant visions and stimulates active creativity. In this book the authors,
designated experts in the fields of ethnology, anthropology and pharmacology, show the ritualistic
usage of Ayahuasca in shamanic rituals. They plunge into a shamanic-visionary world, study plants
and their souls and encounter the realities of Amazonian cultures and their artistic works.

Cover: Hardcover
Extent: 176 pages
• The power of words in healing rituals
Female shamans in indigenous communities as well as healers in our own culture make use of
word medicine and word magic. The ritual words of sayings, conjurations, prayers, and chants
often bear hidden powers. The word is an embodied thought. Through the word the thought
becomes action and creates reality. Thoughts and words that aim to bring misery (»harmful
spells«) constitute the dark side of word magic. Examples from our everyday social reality (such
as harmful words in medicine, verbal flogging in education, mobbing) show how important it is to
become aware of the impact of words. Drawing on long years of experience, the author identifies
practical ways to find healing, strengthening, and protective words and rituals that everyone can
use in his or her everyday life.

Igniting smoking agents is one of mankind's oldest ritual practices. Shamans reach a state of
trance with the help of smoke from certain woods, resins and leaves. Seeresses used to inhale
the smoke of consciousness-altering materials in order to fall into ecstasy. Priestesses and priests
burned resins to establish contact with gods and goddesses. Aromatic smoke has always been
presumed to have magical or medicinal qualities. Following an introduction to the cultural history of
incense, a comprehensive lexical chapter displays all smoking agents from aloe to cypress in detail
with text and pictures: botanical descriptions of the main plant, history, ritual and custom, effects
and ways of usage, chemistry and pharmacology, tips on harvesting and preparation. By means
of the well-founded, ethno-botanical and ethno-pharmacological description of the smoking agents

• The fascinating relationship between man and bear
Anywhere the bear lives, i.e. in the entire Northern hemisphere, he was considered an animal
of strength. He was not an ordinary animal but a kind of »forest man« whose shaggy fur was
hiding a human or even godly soul. He could understand men's thoughts and had healing powers.
Whoever dreams of a bear or has a strong encounter with a bear becomes a herbal healer and is
summoned to heal with plants. Besides the bear dreamer is the mightiest among medicine men
according to North America's natives. The Germanic people called their most efficient and reliable
healing plants »bear herbs« and sent their youngsters into the forest to experience their true nature
as »bear skinners«. Wolf-Dieter Storl, cultural anthropologist and ethno-botanist, lived himself in
bear habitats in the Rocky Mountains for many years and had frequent - sometimes dramatic encounters with bears. In this book he depicts the relationship between man and bear. The journey
leads into the bear caves of the Neanderthals, the bear cults of Siberian tribes of today, to cave
bears and teddy bears and last but not least to the bear city Bern where the author himself used to
live for several years. We find out about the bear goddess Artemis and the medicine bear of Indian
shamans and find numerous bear tales and stories from all over the world.

Buckwheat is not a crop but belongs to the family of knotweeds. One hundred years ago it
ranked among the most important food items in many regions of Europe. Due to our altered,
more conscious approach to healthy alimentation it currently experiences a genuine renaissance.
Buckwheat is gluten free and helps stabilizing the equilibrium of acids and bases, moreover
it has a positive impact on the glycemic index and produces balancing effects with high blood
pressure, diabetes and obesity. Subtle and nutty, it bestows upon pastries a unique and
unmistakable flavour. This is the first cookbook on the subject written in German, presenting plenty
of recipes based exclusively on buckwheat. As buckwheat requires an entirely different method of
preparation, the author has rethought each recipe from scratch.
Modesta Bersin has worked as nutritional and diet consultant for 25 years. Training in prevention

• An unparalleled insight into the so far forbidden kitchens of Chinese monasteries
• The basics of Buddhist vegetarianism
With this book we embark on a journey to the ancient monasteries of China, to Sichuan, and the
roots of Buddhist vegetarian food. Never before have Chinese monastery kitchens opened their
gates to Western authors and photographers, the result are breathtaking images. This unique
book comprises more than 100 original recipes of Chinese traditional vegetarian cuisine. All
recipes were prepared and photographed in Buddhist monasteries. However exotic, they are
easy to prepare in Western kitchens as well. The main ingredients such as vegetables, bamboo,
mushrooms, nuts, Tofu, Seitan, soy meat, Konnyaku as well as selected healing plants and
spices , can be obtained in Asia shops. Many of the ingredients can also easily be home-grown in
the garden. The vegetarian culinary art of ancient monasteries is coupled with the just as ancient ,
Chinese tradition of using healthy, balancing and life-prolonging food - in order to detoxify and
purge, in favour of good health, anti-ageing and a slim figure.

and scientific interest Michael Werner, natural scientist, doctor of chemistry and manager of an
institute for cancer research, tried the so-called light as food method on himself. He has been
living without consuming solid food for four years - and feels better than ever: healthy, fit as a
fiddle and full of energy. In the framework of an academic research project he underwent a 10day clinical test based on strict scientific norms, under permanent medicinal-physiological and
psychological surveillance at a Swiss clinic. The book furnishes the report of his experiences and
related background knowledge, and documents the light-as-food phenomenon in a comprehensive
way. It is not a guidebook or instruction for using light as food, but rather reproduces experiences
in a critical-scientific way and offers possible approaches for an explanation.

Mineral material therapy is a simple and risk-free healing method anyone can apply. It is named
after Dr. med. W. H. Schüssler who discovered that many diseases of body and soul can be

salts produced naturally in the body that can be purchased without prescription. In this book the
authors pass on their experience gathered in long years of healing practice and seminars, taking
into account their latest findings. Next to treating physical illnesses, the therapy also considers
psychic conditions and behaviour patterns and provides dietary suggestions. Particular attention is
dedicated to external use in the form of ointments, therapeutic baths, wet packs and compresses.
Complementary materials are thoroughly discussed. With its clear structure including a detailed
index of symptoms and easily comprehensible presentation this book is a valuable up-to-date

• Presents 13 types of mistletoe
• By Johannes Wilkens, an outstanding expert on the subject
For many years, mistletoe extract from different trees has proven to be an excellent cure for
cancer, as confirmed by dedicated research and case studies. In Germany, mistletoe is the most
popular medical plant in cancer therapy. Mistletoe is most powerful when the tree on which it
grows and draws its nutrients from is similar in character to the sick person. Johannes Wilkens,
an outstanding expert on the subject, has significantly enhanced mistletoe therapy. In this book,
he presents 13 types of mistletoe, each with its specific connection between tree and human,
illustrating how a differentiated use of mistletoe supplements significantly increases the chances
for healing. Mistletoe supplements are also successfully applied in cancer prevention and with
various age-related diseases.

• A naturopathic approach to healing lyme disease
Not too long ago a tick bite merely caused a trifle irritation. Today however one fears that each tick
contains borrelia eager to infect humans and animals with the nasty disease borreliosis, a multisystem illness which can affect any organ and sham any symptom. Borrelia are utmost cunning
and versatile. They elude the immune system or manipulate it according to their needs, they
constantly change shape, hence are often hard to recognize for the immunocytes. Antibiotics can
hardly attack them, or they hide in nerves, cartilages or other less blood-supplied body tissues.
Hence they unmistakably prove that we have reached the end of the antibiotics age. The author,
himself an ethno-botanist, studies traditional Chinese medicine, the treasures of Indian healing
knowledge, homeopathy and traditional Western healing herb medicine in order to find effective
therapies. In China he finds the teasel, in the Carribeans the overheating therapy, diets and plants
the locals used to heal syphilis, a disease closely related to borreliosis. Additionally he describes
a number of other therapeutic approaches. The author experienced the healing effects of the
presented treatments on his own body. Borreliosis can be healed, there is no need to be afraid.

• How to set ourselves free by tap acupressure The 21-day-programme
Stress has become a permanent everyday companion for a great number of people. Recent
research assumes that a major part of all health problems is caused by emotional stress.
Considering that many stress-ridden individuals have little free time at their disposal, there is a
dire need for fast effective methods of stress relief. The successful EFT or »Emotional Freedom
Techniques®« therapy is a remarkably efficient method that allows to easily and quickly get rid of
burdensome stress occurrences without outside help by means of tapping on certain acupressure
points. In this book Reto Wyss presents an EFT-based programme against stress, tested in
practice. With the help of examples, check lists and exercises the most forceful cases of personal
stress are first identified and then exposed to a structural 21-day treatment. The introductory
chapters of the book allow us to develop a new perspective with regard to stress, and present Gary
Craig's EFT method step by step and hands-on. The author has worked out a crash course for
particularly stressed individuals, which allows us to get to know and apply the EFT method within
30 minutes. Requiring a minimum of time - approx. 15 minutes per day - the anti-stress programme
is convenient even for those disposing of very little time for themselves. Never has it been easier to
relieve burdensome emotional stress.

• The true origins of our folk medicine
• Healing plants, shamanic healing, and spirits
• The new book from the famous Allgäu-based plant expert
Besides academic medicine as practised by doctors and pharmacists, every people and every
ethnic group has its very own functioning art of healing that is adjusted to the given ecological
circumstances - such as certain healing plants that grow right outside the cabin or local climate
conditions. This ancient knowledge of healing was usually treasured an passed on by women,
since traditionally they were the ones taking care of children, the sick, and the elderly. Shamanic
healing, excursions to the spirits of plants, confronting »worms« and other disease spirits, as well
as overheating therapy (sweat lodge) are all part of this traditional knowledge about healing plants
and their powers. Even the first farmers contributed to the ancient European art of healing by using
weeds such as camomile or dwarf mallow as remedies or by producing herbal healing beer and
herb bread. Cultural anthropologist and ethnobotanist Wolf-Dieter Storl describes all this in his
well-known knowledgeable, profound, comprehensive, and at the same time entertaining manner.

Cover: Hardcover
Extent: 296 pages
Subject areas: Spirituality, new science, spiritual
healing
The conciliation of spirituality, science and economics. Faith in God is not a reasonable concept,
God can only be experienced personally. Consciousness is everywhere, even in matter, and it is of
divine nature. The energy that brought forth Creation lives and works in every human being. This
knowledge does not contradict modern natural science, but rather complements it. This perception
opens the way for the reconciliation of science and spirituality, for a reconciliation of religions and a
new ethics of freedom. According to the findings of quantum physics, matter does not only consist
of energy, but also possesses a certain memory or consciousness. An atom is said to be unable
to forget what it once experienced. The consequences of this for our view of both the world and
mankind are unpredictable. They may well be compared to those of the Copernican system at
the dawn of modern times. Along with the altered understanding of matter the concept of man, of
nature and of God also changes. Currently the worldwide forecasts on the future of man and Earth
are rather pessimistic. This way of thinking is certainly not mandatory. This book shows how the
understanding of the spiritual composition of the world and of man sets free new resources in all
areas of our existence. Times of transition may be regarded as times of crisis, but also as a chance
for a new development. When put into perspective the changes on Earth taking place nowadays
justly give us reason to be optimistic. After all it is all about the fundamental reconciliation with
ourselves, with the material world and especially with the Earth we live on.

A team of British researchers recently discovered highly effective plant agents that are a natural
element of the plant immune system and the new hope for cancer patients. They were named
salvestrols.
Positive research results prove that a healthy diet may prevent cancer, lower the risk of getting
cancer, and help the recovery of those who have already fallen ill. Fresh organically grown food,
especially ripe fruit and vegetables (red and green types in particular) of local origin usually contain
- in accordance with nature's intelligent precautionary plan - sufficient vital substances and hence
also salvestrols to repel the disease.
Salvestrols are available in concentrated form as dietary supplements that can be used both for
prevention and to support the healing process of ill persons: scientifically examined cases prove
that many patients using salvestrols have recovered.

ago: In the course of her own painful path she discovered a number of helpful exercises that reerect, heal and energetically rebuild the human body. Harald Jordan obtained her personal notes
for publication. The title is a deliberate allusion to the »Five Tibetans«. She had suggested this
title herself, as quite a few things were wrong with the »Five Tibetans«. Hence she said: »I'm not
from Tibet, I'm from Kiekut« (near Hamburg). What makes the five basic exercises presented in
this book so very special is that they neither require any special equipment nor are they particularly
time consuming. They can be easily integrated into everyday activities. They enhance perception
and keep you firmly grounded both inside and out. In order to show what it is that makes them so
immensely effective, the exercises are complemented by additional notes on their energetic impact
as well as the relevant cultural background. The book is certainly not a list of typical back exercises
given that in this approach several parts of the body are involved. It focuses on knee, hip, spine,
back and shoulder. But the real secret lies in the back.
energetic design, Feng Shui, radiesthesia, astrology and spatial perception. Harald Jordan lives
and works in Worpswede/Germany and Greece.

• Therapy with healing plants according to occidental tradition
With the enormous range of his knowledge and research as well as his philosophical depth the
doctor and nature researcher Paracelsus has - after 500 years - still remained an inexhaustible
source of inspiration in naturopathy. His knowledge on healing herbs does not only rely on the
ancient method of cognition known as doctrine of signatures, but also on metaphysics, alchemy,
astrology and magic as well as traditional methods of farm doctors, folk healers and gipsies. In
this book all of these are tested on their validity for this day and age. The book also contains many
almost forgotten healing plants, as enrichments to contemporary naturopathy. Numerous tables,
recipes and background information show the whole range of his naturopathic wisdom and render
the book an understandable and useful reference for anyone interested in herbal medicine as well
as a valuable tool for daily practice. The book is richly illustrated with plant photos, engravings
and art prints. The authors manage to relocate Paracelsus' treasure of healing herbs from remote
history to the present and render it useable in our day and age.

• A promising cure for Alzheimer, stroke, and ADD/ADHD
• Ample evidence from medicinal history followed by most recent case studies
The hellebore has played a crucial role for the most renowned doctors in occidental medicinal
history. Hippocrates, but even more so Paracelsus and Samuel Hahnemann have praised its
powers. In recent times the hellebore is once again in the spotlight, as it has proved particularly
effective in clinical cell tests as well as with concrete cases of the serious sicknesses, the new
millennium is experiencing. It has proven its worth in geriatrics, with Alzheimer, strokes, but also
with cancer - all of which quite frequently require hellebore treatment based on anthroposophic
medicine. Another area, where it is intensely used, is with attention disorders of children such as
ADD and ADHD as well as general brain development disorders.
Against the background of medicinal history and using various case studies, this book documents
the essential role of the hellebore with numerous sicknesses of the modern age.

• From ancient heart plants to plant-based medicines of modern cardiology
• On the role of the heart with primitive peoples and in modern civilisation
• The latest book of bestselling author Wolf-Dieter Storl
Cardiovascular diseases are despite the rapid progress in medical science the most frequent
cause of death in the Western world. Can the typical stress of modern lifestyle be made
responsible for this, or rather wrong eating habits, malfunctions of the psyche or harmful
microorganisms? Or is it rooted in the fact that we do not properly understand the heart and its
function any more? The cultural anthropologist and ethnobotanist Wolf-Dieter Storl investigates
these issues in his latest book. With primitive peoples and in the pre-industrial age heart diseases
in the modern sense were hardly known. The »heart medicine« used at the time were plants
that were effective on the spiritual and psychic level and helped to cheer up the heart. Apart
from these traditional, ancient heart plants the book also presents the plant-based medicines of
modern cardiology, such as foxglove (Digitalis), lily of the valley (Convallaria) or Strophanthus.
A new, holistic approach to the top issue of heart diseases from an ethnological, ethnomedical,
ethnobotanical and folkloristic perspective.

ages, people have prepared valuable medicine from roots, resin, sprouts and leaves.
Susanne Fischer-Rizzi has collected ancient tales, legends, myths, songs and rites that have

blessing of palm leaves on Palm Sunday, maypoles and roofing ceremonies. Drawing from long
years of experience with plant healing she added to each tree a chapter on its healing effects,
along with tried recipes for home-made teas, ointments, tinctures, compresses etc. These are
complemented by recipes for delicious dishes and drinks such as maple ice cream, fir honey,
blackthorn liqueur, elder cake or quince bread. The perceptively captured illustrations by Peter

Following the great success of his first book, Alexander Lauterwasser draws a great bow from
mythological motifs on the creation of the world by sound vibrations all the way to modern quantum
physics. Can the world really be understood as a big quest for one last, isolated »particle« or does
this quest require the relationship-building dimension of resonance? Can the phenomenon of life
in the end only be interpreted as a collective vibration induced by such resonance processes?
Evolution interpreted as the continuous effort to differentiate and increase relationship-building
resonance capabilities. As water proves to be the substance with the most universal readiness
for resonance, the observations are illustrated with new water-sound images that visualise the
response of water to various sound vibrations in a fascinating way.
Alexander Lauterwasser studied philosophy and psychology. Since 1984 his research focuses

• Neophytes as valuable crops or healing plants
• An unprejudiced view on recently settled plants
• The latest book by bestselling author Wolf-Dieter Storl with Frank Brunke's breathtaking
plant photos
In his latest book bestselling author Wolf-Dieter Storl explains the nature and use of so-called
neophytes, i.e. plants that have settled in our region during the past decades: how they are valued
and used in their countries of origin, why they have migrated and what functions they have in their
new home. New plants such as the giant hogweed, the Canadian goldenrod or the Himalayan
balsam are currently the object of fervent discussions among nature lovers. They overgrow vast
areas and squeeze out the indigenous vegetation. Others, like ambrosia, are considered healthdamaging. Wolf-Dieter Storl challenges these superficial judgments and proves that neophytes
enrich the domestic flora, they are natural steps in the gradual resettlement of our continent, as
the Ice Age had practically eliminated all local vegetation. Yet the book does not only examine
biological, climatic and ecological conditions enabling new plants to flourish, but also highlights
ethnobotanical and cultural aspects. In their countries of origin many of these neophytes are
precious crops, healing plants, or sometimes even of sacred nature, used in Shamanic or religious
contexts.

• With case studies from the author's practice
In the course of his work as spiritual healer Sam Hess realized that there are more and more
encounters of two people whose souls either complement each other or are even identical.
Often one of these dual souls is incarnated as a human being, while the other one resides in the
afterworld. According to Sam Hess the souls of all of us split off from a universal soul in ancient
times. These disconnected soul fragments are longing for that long lost unity. In order to regain it
they unconsciously look for complementing pieces. Once such a connection is made it takes the
person to a higher level of consciousness. Using case studies, the author shows us how strongly
encounters of soul parts or dual souls affect individuals' lives, what unexpected opportunities they
can present, and how problems related to partners or family members can be resolved.
Sam Hess worked in forestry for 30 years. Clairvoyant ever since his childhood, he nowadays
works in the spiritual field as a medium, using his clairvoyance to heal people and to free houses

• Answers to global change coming form the earth's soul layer
• Concrete measures to prevent the imminent destruction of earth
• The most essential book of internationally acclaimed geomancy researcher Pogacnik
In view of the increasingly aggravating ecological and social crisis many people wonder about
the underlying causes. Based on a geomantic understanding of the earth's process of changing,
Marko Pogacnik shows that the impending changes imply a fundamental transformation of the
living space which will allow for a further development of nature and man. Earth's intelligence
has already launched particular measures on a geomantic level in order to prevent the imminent
destruction of the planet. The author has gained his insights into this complex process mostly
through intensive dream phases, these are illustrated for the reader in the form of drawings and
comments. With the help of meditative exercises readers can gain their own experiences in the
subject.
Marko Pogacnik born 1944, Slovenian sculptor and geomant, active in conceptual art and
country art in the 1960s. In the early eighties he developed »lithopuncture«, a method of healing
and balancing of places and landscapes similar to acupuncture. With this method he »healed«
numerous landscapes all over the world. Author of ten books in German and English, among
others »Healing the Earth« (Die Erde Heilen), »Elementary Essence« (Elementarwesen), »School
of Geomancy« (Schule der Geomantie), »Secret Venice« (Geheimnis Venedig), »Earth systems

This means above all the process of exchange with the personal place of power - the approach,
encounter and ultimate return to daily life. Towards renewal, transformation, inspiration and the
shaping of a fulfilled, responsible life. The book leads the way to personal places of power, to

worlds. The simultaneously existing and interpenetrating world spaces are presented in this
book as something that can be experienced immediately in the surroundings or inside oneself
which offers the possibility to plunge into this hyperspace and attain new knowledge on the earth,

• The original texts of Viktor Schauberger, the pioneer of water research
Hardly a water book that does not quote him: Viktor Schauberger, the legendary water researcher.
Though there are many books on Viktor Schauberger, there is not one - except the republished
note of caution »Our futile work« - that focuses on his writings. This book fills a gap. Jörg
Schauberger, grandson of the water researcher, selected the most important among the vast
number of essays, articles, and letters by Viktor Schauberger dating from the first half of the 20th
century. Experiences and realisations of the visionary nature observer are thematically arranged.
Over many decades he manages to gradually unveil the nature of water. Eloquently he develops
a completely new concept of the primal matter and thereby lays the foundation stone of modern
water research. Among the highly up-to-date topics features the proposal for an entirely new type
of river regulation based on the extensive abolishment of solid embankments, as according to
Viktor Schauberger flowing water can be regulated from within, i.e. by influencing the medium
itself. Basically it is all about perceiving water as what it really means for man, nature and the
entire planet Earth: the source of all life and the basis of existence.
Viktor Schauberger 1885-1958, forest ranger, ingenious inventor, researcher and observer
of nature. The pioneer of water research, immensely influencing the following generations of
researchers.Groundbreaking research on soil composition and water quality, studies on the
influence of temperature on the flowing behaviour of water, inventor of the first appliances to revive
water and transform sea water into freshwater. Numerous contributions to scientific journals. His
son Walter Schauberger continued his research.
Jörg Schauberger born 1954, grandson of Viktor Schauberger.Mathematics studies in Graz. Until
1999 radio reporter and presenter with ORF. Today leader of the Pythagoras Kepler School (PKS)
founded by his father in Bad Ischl in the Salzkammergut region of Upper Austria. He is dedicated
to the propagation of Viktor and Walter Schauberger's research results by means of seminars,
lectures and publications.

Water reacts to outside influences in a sensitive way and it stores information in nature as well

images which capture these memory phenomena. It goes to show that water is much more
significant than anyone assumed so far. For the first time ever researchers from Stuttgart have
managed to systematically unveil this secret. Easily reproduced experiments with fascinating
images offer deep insights on the effects of e.g. mobile radio, ultrasound, music, vibration therapy,
and thought power. The results are the outcome of 15 years of research on the basis of which the
authors completely reassess the role of water in nature as well as in the human body. It marks the
beginning of a new understanding of the world and of ourselves.
