Book Description
The Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air
Theodor Schwenk
Translated by Olive Whicher & Johanna Weigley
More than ever before, today we need "water consciousness" and we can begin with this essential and classic book on water as the universal bearer of living, formative processes.
Beginning with simple flowing phenomena of water and air, Schwenk gradually builds up, with the help of marvelous photographs and drawings, the "letters" of an alphabet that will allow us to "read" the living meaning of water.
The spiritual, formative processes are gradually brought to light, and we come to recognize the Creative Word in the universe.
Fully illustrated. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Sensitive Chaos(pb) (Paperback)
This beautiful book remains scientifically accurate while describing in poetic and spiritual style the flowing of fluids in nature. A beautiful collection of pictures illustrates how even living things follow the rules of fluid flow as new cells flow forth in the growth process.

Water, Water, Everywhere,
By Jane Kansas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sensitive Chaos: Creation of Flowing Forms in Water and Air (Paperback)
It's out-of-print. No one you know has ever heard of this book. No matter: the trouble you may have in finding a copy of Sensitive Chaos will be worth it. The images will remain with you. The text will teach the old dog (you) new tricks. And years and years from now you will still recognize the spiral of water in the things you see, and you'll even feel a little more connected to the world. Beautiful book.

inspiring,
By Apryl Dawn "sunnygal88" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sensitive Chaos(pb) (Paperback)
I must agree completely with the first two reviews. They each summarize the essence of this book. I was newly exploring my interest in water and ecological design when I came upon Theodore Schwenk. Sensitive Chaos filled me with inspiration and was consistent with the science I knew. Years later, I still think of this book.
