In this concise and richly-illustrated work, Olive Whicher introduces an exciting new science of living forms and processes. It is based on the pioneering work of Rudolf Steiner and his student George Adams.
In order to understand the laws of living nature more fully, she asserts that we must overcome the one-sided concepts of modern science —ideas that are adequate only for describing material forms and forces.
We must broaden our thinking to include etheric formative forces, which are alive in ethereal space, or counterspace.
These forces work in plants, for example, by drawing matter upward. Such forces work opposite to the forces of gravity (which draw downward toward Earth) and explosive forces (which drive upward and outward). Readers will find in this book a basic introduction to a radical new science of living organisms.
 Olive Mary Whicher joined George Adams in London in 1935, and worked with him in research in mathematics and physics. She has published a number of books, including a few in collaboration with Adams. She has taught at Emerson College and traveled widely as a lecturer in Europe and the United States. She died January 2006.
