Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries."

The title of this book was chosen "to encourage and stimulate the broadest attitude toward thought... If, in imagination, all of the people of the world were to stand upon one another's shoulders, they would make nine complete chains between the earth and the moon. If it is not so far to the moon, then it is not so far to the limits - whatever, whenever, or wherever they may be." The only limits to our thinking, then, should be the limits of the universe itself. In Nine Chains to the Moon R. Buckminster Fuller takes up his own challenge and brilliantly displays the unique daring of his ideas. In the course of his analysis he makes us question our commonly-accepted notions of Euclidian geometry, "good" architecture, classical solutions to economic problems, and even our use of words. It is this kind of courageous thinking that led Fuller to his invention of the Geodesic dome and the formulation of his comprehensive anticipatory design science.

Anchor/Doubleday

"...an expression of one of his most fundamental ideas: that humanity is suffering from a kind of cosmic near-sightedness, an inability to comprehend universal principles, due to our concentration on special 'parts'." Fuller was "philosopher, designer, cosmologist, adviser to heads of state and corporation presidents, and First Citizen of the Global Village."

If R. Buckminster Fuller had been pulling the strings of corporate America, it's possible we would be living in a world of three-wheel cars, aluminum houses, and domed cities.Fuller never enjoyed that kind of power or authority. In fact, a good deal of his 24 patents and many other improbable schemes came to nothing. But Bucky-as he was universally known-was destined to be ahead of his time.
