In Ideas and Integrities Buckminster Fuller, one of the most influential designers and thinkers of the modern world, describes the revolutionary designs and concepts he has pioneered - among them the geodesic dome, the Dymaxion world map, the Dymaxion 4-D house, the Dymaxion 4-D automobile, and countless other structures and creations that have changed the face of America and the world. And he sets forth his amazing and challenging ideas for the world of the future - ideas that would revolutionize everything from university education to bathroom design, ideas that, above all, demonstrate how we can and must make for more imaginative and efficient use of the resources now available to us to ensure a better standard of living for all men. --- from book's back cover
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

I love this guy if we all had a figure in our lives growing up like Mr fuller what would this world be like. his writing and delivery can be challenging at first but when you catch up you begin to catch on.
Editor Jaime Snyder (Bucky's grandson) added a 22-page Introduction, a lot of footnotes, page numbers to the two pictures sections and smaller pages which added to the length.
There's some additional info in the back, and of course a new index & cover.
All in all it probably would be worth buying the new edition (paperback) even if one has the older 1963 edition.
Bucky Fuller always wanted humanity to achieve the best possible future. He outlines his life's work in this book. Well written and a great read if you're interested in Fuller's work/life.
A good look inside the mind and impact of this genius's hundreds of practical inventions. Book was received quickly and its condition was accurately described.
