What Is Biodynamics?: A Way to Heal and revitalize the Earth : Seven
Lectures [Paperback]
Rudolf Steiner (Author), Hugh J. Courtney (Introduction)
Book Description
Publication Date: October 30, 2005
Created from indications by Rudolf Steiner around 1924, and based on a
deep understanding of the life forces at work in nature, farming and
gardening with biodynamic methods are
spiritual, artistic, and sophisticated forms of organic horticulture
that nurture and enhance the earth. It emphasizes the interdependence
and unity of all the elements of an
ecosystem or landscape including soil, plants, animals, and weather.
Taking the soil as the foundation for the vitality and diversity of a
farm or garden, biodynamic methods use
special herbal "preparations" to increase the energetic quality of the
soil, stimulating plant growth and health. Biodynamic methods go beyond
organic practices to actually heal
the earth herself. Typical of the biodynamic approach are companion
planting, crop rotation, cover crops, green manures, liquid manures,
compost, the integration of crops and
livestock, and planting and harvesting in harmony with the lunar and
planetary cycles. This introduction to biodynamic methods contains five
lectures by Rudolf Steiner and an
extensive introduction by Hugh Courtney of the Josephine Porter
Institute, who unravels not only the practice of biodynamics, but also
its spiritual and esoteric background.

The Wholeness of Nature : Goethe's Way Toward a Science of Conscious
Participation in Nature [Paperback]

"Book Description
ISBN-10: 0940262797 | ISBN-13: 978-0940262799 | Publication Date:
November 1, 1996 | Edition: 1st
Whereas most readers are familiar with Goethe as a poet and dramatist,
few are familiar with his scientific work. In this brilliant book,
Henri Bortoft (who began his studies of Goethean science with J. G.
Bennett and David Bohm) introduces the fascinating scientific theories
of Goethe. He succeeds in showing that Goethe's way of doing science
was not a poet's folly but a genuine alternative to the dominant
scientific paradigm. Bortoft shows that a different, "gentler" kind of
empiricism is possible than that demanded by the dualizing mind of
modern technological science and demonstrates that Goethe's
participatory phenomenology of a new way of seeing-while far from
being a historical curiosity-in fact proposes a practical solution to
the dilemmas of contemporary, postmodern science. If you read only one
book on Goethan science, this should be the one!"
