5.0 out of 5 stars World History and Future: Bucky Fuller, January 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Earth, Inc. (Paperback)

Fuller speaks as only he can - in "mental mouthfuls". This short little paperback covers an enormous amount of ground. He divides all of human existence into twelve periods, all being facilitated by the initiatives of the "Leonardo types". He has an inciteful way of connecting things - the aquisition of the 92 elements (the 93rd and beyond he refers to as "entrances into negative universes". I have been reading this book for twenty years...still reads fresh...a must for even the most novice Bucky fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO MODERN ISSUES, January 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Earth, Inc. (Paperback)

ALTHOUGH IT IS SLIGHTLY DATED, EARTH, INC. PRESENTS FULLER'S UNUSUAL APPROACH TO MODERN PROBLEMS. A KEY EXAMPLE ISTHE SECTION "REVOLUTION IN WOMBLAND" WHICH PRESENTS A SCENARIO WHERE ALLTHE BABIES GESTATING AROUND THE WORLD "GO ON STRIKE" REFUSING TO BE BORN UNTIL ALL GOVERNMENTS GIVE UP WAR AND COERCION TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ARTICLE TO ANYONE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ABORTION ISSUE. THIS BOOK ALSO PRESENTS FULLER'S IDEAS ABOUT THE EARLY HISTORY OF MANKIND AND THE GENERAL EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN RACE . THIS BOOK MAY ALSO CONTAIN HIS EARLIEST PUBLISHED MENTION OF NAGA CULTURE AS A KEY TO UNDERSTANDING EARLY HUMAN HISTORY. EARTH,INC. ALSO CONTAINS HIS FAMOUS MAP. THERE IS HIS POETRY HERE AS WELL. IN READING THIS BOOK REMEMBER THAT THESE ARTICLES WERE WRITTEN TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE SATURDAY REVIEW IN THE MID-60S. THE COLD WAR AND THE THREAT OF THERMONUCLEAR WAR LOOMS IN THE BACKGROUND OF THESE ESSAYS. FINALLY, THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THE BEST TO START WITH IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FULLER AND HIS IDEAS. THESE ESSAYS WERE WRITTEN FOR A BROAD AUDIENCE AND FULLER WAS BOTH MORE WHIMSICAL AND EASYGOING IN THIS BOOK THAN HE WAS IN OTHERS. ANOTHER GOOD INTRODUCTION TO FULLER'S IDEAS IS HIS TRANSCRIBED LECTURE IN THE BOOK 'APPROACHING THE BENIGN ENVIRONMENT'.

3.0 out of 5 stars forward thinking, December 29, 1999

By 

Paul V (moscow) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Earth, Inc. (Paperback)

Richard Bucky Fuller was this centuries most forward thinking individual in my opinion. Reading through Earth Inc. I could see where people could be somewhat turned off by Bucky's radical viewpoints I think he needs to be read with an open mind, and heart.
