About Formative Forces in the Plant World (Hardback)
by Dick van RomundeColour drawings by Elly van Hardeveld
Dick van Romunde’s book About Formative Forces in the Plant World is the culmination of decades of ‘inner observation’ of many members of the plant world in the manner of what has come to be known to as Goethean observation, after it’s principle founder and exponent, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The book guides the reader through the different stages of Goethean examination and contemplation of several plants and includes for each plant, delicately rendered colour drawings by artist, Elly van Hardeveld.

Bees
8 lectures by Rudolf SteinerIntroduction by Gunther Hauk
With an essay on the Art of Joseph Beuys by David Adams Steiner began this series of lectures on bees in response to a question from an audience of workers at the Goetheanum. From physical depictions of the daily activities of bees to the most elevated esoteric insights, these lectures describe the organic wisdom of the beehive and its connection to our experience of health, culture, and the cosmos.

The Boundaries of Natural Science
Eight lectures by Rudolf Steinerwith an introduction by Saul Bellow
The widespread permeation of our thinking by material science in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has created a troubling disparity between the inner experience of human consciousness on the one hand and the conclusions about life that have been drawn by science on the other. These two "worlds" conflict perpetually in our daily experience.
For this crucial dilemma Rudolf Steiner suggests a solution that goes beyond the "boundaries of natural science."
