Living Water: Viktor Schauberger And The Secret... -

: Schauberger viewed water as the "blood of Mother Earth". He argued that water is "alive" when it moves in its natural spiraling, pulsating ways and becomes "dead" or aggressive when forced into straight pipes or exposed to direct sunlight and heat.

: He criticized modern energy generation (from internal combustion to nuclear fission) as being based on heat and "explosion," which he felt worked against nature's life-giving principles.

: He observed that nature uses centripetal (inward-spiraling) motion to build energy. This "implosion" energy is seen in whirlpools and tornadoes, which he believed could be harnessed to create highly efficient, non-polluting engines.

Schauberger's work is based on the philosophy of "Comprehend and Copy Nature". He believed that natural systems utilize a "rebuilding" motion that humans have largely ignored in favor of destructive ones.

: The book highlights the critical link between healthy forests and "ripe" water. Schauberger argued that deforestation removes the "cooling" cover water needs, leading to the death of mountain springs and soil infertility.

, written by Olof Alexandersson, is a biography and technical overview of the Austrian naturalist Viktor Schauberger (1885–1958). The book explores his revolutionary—and often controversial—theories that water is a "living entity" and that modern technology’s reliance on "explosive" force is destroying the planet.

"Becoming a Staff engineer is both a promotion and a job change; many immensely talented engineers pursue the first and arrive unprepared for the latter. Will Larson's Staff Engineer is a wide ranging and thought provoking overview of the many dimensions of the role.

As a software engineer at any level, this book will challenge you to become better and should be required reading if you're pursuing a Staff engineer role." Living Water: Viktor Schauberger and the Secret...

"It is not easy to find many resources on the staff engineer role which is still massively misunderstood due to wildly varying definitions and assumptions. : Schauberger viewed water as the "blood of Mother Earth"

This book lays out some of the differing role definitions and then brings them to life with real case studies making it easy to map the archetypes to your own circumstances, passions and ambitions. This should be a go to resource for anyone thinking of pursuing the IC path or that has already moved into a senior IC role." He believed that natural systems utilize a "rebuilding"

"In Staff Engineer, Will Larson does more than demystify the staff engineer role: he explains the whys and hows of long-term technical strategy, the power of sponsorship, and the responsibility that comes with having influence.

Throughout the book, he references inclusive studies, addresses realistic scenarios, and offers practical advice. Staff Engineer leaves me feeling more equipped for success as an engineering leader, but more than that, it leaves me feeling affirmed — it’s the first engineering leadership book I’ve read with over half its quotations from women."
