Jeff Volk, publisher of cymatics literature, sent a note that an
English-language translation of "Water Sound Images" by the
German photographer / researcher Alexander Lauterwasser
is now in print.

Wikipedia provides the following summary:

"Alexander Lauterwasser, a German researcher and photographer
based his work on work done by Ernst Chladni and Hans Jenny
in the field of Cymatics."

In 2002 Lauterwasser published his book Wasser Klang Bilder
(Water Sound Images) with stunning imagery of water surfaces
set into motion by sound sources ranging from pure sine waves
to music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Karlheinz Stockhausen and
even overtone chanting."

For pedologists, Hans Jenny (1899 - 1992) the soil scientist
from Univ of Missouri onwards to Univ of California, has
his own Wikipedia.

Since sound machines are used in alternative farming systems,
it's helpful to refer to cymatics literature for background information.
