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.

Nice to find this important historical book.

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

Condition was as described and it came reasonably fast.

This book reviews many of ulcers important concepts for saving resources.
Take a shower with a pint or two using ultrasonic nozzles.

Stop using drinking water to flush every turd several miles from home and loose its' fertilizing power.

These ideas need to be revitalized using the tech we now have at our fingertips.

A definitive work on Fuller ....get it...read it..

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Quite simply the definitive book on the fellow who advocated to all the great leaders of the world, that we can DO MORE WITH LESS and proved it.
to him the cup was always MORE than half full.
Kind of "gingerly" advocated by the elites of the environmental movement of the sixties and then and now dismissed because....well there REALLY ARE 'best practices" and when they are adopted then....no need for expensive consultants, advocates, elites and all the talking heads that we have now.
Invented the dome house, quonset hut, a car that really was revolutionary but detested by the big automakers and the unions because...well...IT WORKED...so no need for constant "improvement".

Poor Quality Ow Res Copy of Original - Print to tiny to read easily

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

I was looking forward to this book arriving, and was seriously disappointed when I started in to read it.
It's low resolution, very poor quality printer copies of the original, bound together in a hardcover.
It might have been readable that way, and I would have been OK with that, except, the copies bound into the book are downsized to the point where they're not easily readable without a magnifying glass. That's unacceptable. Just so we're all on the same page, this is the hardcover edition you'll get if you order the one Amazon is selling, not the ones from other sellers, although you might ask and be sure this isn't what you'll get whoever you buy from.
