Buckminster Fuller, the brilliant and eccentric futurist philosopher, was one of the most creative contributors to innovative thought and technology in the twentieth century. Best known for his inventions, from the Geodesic Dome to the Dymaxion car and the concept of "Spaceship Earth," he was an incomparable designer, engineer, and architect. In this inspiring account of Fuller's life and legacy, Lloyd Steven Seiden shows how his integrity, intuition, and imagination had an astounding impact on the world. Buckminster Fuller's Universe brings new light to Fuller's belief system, recognizes his many contributions to humanity, and shows readers how to apply Fuller's ideas to daily life..

A sympathetic, even advocatory, account of the life and work of the designer, engineer, and architect, interpreting his creations as visible models of his philosophy. Well illustrated, including diagrams showing the principles of his designs.
