    Not many American writers had as doggedly determined a chronicler, meticulously indexing almost every word, public and private, as did Buckminster Fuller, in the person of E.J. Applewhite.

    But if you've invented your own language, like Bucky did, it certainly helps with decoding. EJA provides this four volume decrypting key, to one of the great minds of the 20th century, or any other century for that matter (some may disagree -- but have they read this dictionary?).

    Essential for any complete collection of American Transcendentalist literature.

    Ed was an author in his own right of course (Cosmic Fishing, Paradise Mislaid), and developed his professional collating skills over a long and distinguished career with the Central Intelligence Agency. He was also Fuller's principal collaborator on Synergetics (originally a two volume work from Macmillan, now on the web), Bucky's most refined expression of a metaphysical geometry (yes, he cites Plato, although the dedication is to Coxeter (there's a new bio of him out too: "King of Infinite Space: Donald Coxeter, The Man Who Saved Geometry" -- haven't read it yet, but do so intend)).
