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."

"...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."

DOUBLEDAY

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.

Untitled Epic Poem On the History of Industrialization

Touchstone

Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth

In this essay on man Mr. Fuller expresses what may well be his penultimate view of the human condition. Here, in a mood at once philosophical and involved, Mr. Fuller traces manâs intellectual evolution and weighs his capability for survival on this magnificent craft, this Spaceship Earth, this superbly designed sphere of almost negligible dimension in the great vastness of space.
Â 
Mr. Fuller is optimistic that man will survive and, through research and development and increased industrialization, generate wealth so rapidly that he can do very great things. But, he notes, there must be an enormous educational task successfully accomplished right now to convert manâs tenÂdency toward oblivion into a realization of his potential, to a universe-exploring advantage from this Spaceship Earth.
Â 
It has been noted that Mr. Fuller spins ideas in clusters, and clusters of his ideas generate still other clusters. The concept spaceship earthâ is Mr. Fullerâs, and though used by Barbara Ward as the title of a work of her own the idea was acknowledged by her there as deriving from Mr. Fuller. The brilliant syntheses of some fundamental Fuller principles given here makes of this book a microcosm of the Fuller system.
