Synopsis:

"How do we make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone?"
- Buckminster Fuller

Known as a "Leonardo da Vinci of the twentieth century," futurist, poet, philosopher, engineer, designer, inventor, and architect Dr. R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller had a keen awareness that we're all in this together.  Understanding that we humans don't have a clue about how to operate our fragile Spaceship Earth, Bucky provided insightful solutions both personal and global to our most challenging issues, including war, overpopulation, housing, increasing inflation, health care, the energy crisis, and much more. For all its genius, Bucky's legacy has yet to be fully uncovered until the publication of "A Fuller View." The world needs to hear Bucky's voice as it calls upon each of us to shift our focus and resources from  weaponry to livingry.

"If there's anything as rewarding as reading Bucky Fuller, it is opening pages of dialogue with him by some of the heartiest minds of our time. The ongoing dialogue brings ongoing life.  Praise to Steve Sieden for making this happen."
- Joanna Macy, Eco-philosopher, Buddhist scholar and author of: World As Lover, World As Self; Widening Circles

"Buckminster Fuller was  a key guiding light for most of us still engaged around the world and striving to bring forth his vision of a just , peaceful, ecologically sustainable world.  This book is one of the great literary treasures of the 21th Century ."
- Hazel Henderson, Author: Building a Win -Win World  and Ethical Markets:Growing The Green Economy

"Steven Sieden has captured the many facets of Buckminster Fuller in a way that is both understandable and inspiring.  The inclusion of wide array of Guest Commentators allows A Fuller View to provide a unique vision of Bucky's comprehensive strategy and reminds us that we're all in this together on the planet Bucky named Spaceship Earth."
- John Robbins Author: No Happy Cows; The Food Revolution; Diet for a New America;  A New Good Life

"A Fuller View let me see the remarkable man from many new facets of the unique polyvertexion that is Bucky.  As powerful as Fuller's insights will always be, reading the impact his presence had on so many lives helped humanize one of the great minds of my lifetime."
- Foster Gamble, Creator and Host of the THRIVE movie

"Bucky Fuller challenged the system and offered positive solutions to all our challenges - both global and personal.  "A Fuller View" reminds us that each of us can make a difference, and using Bucky's solutions will benefit us all. He's one of my heroes and I'm so very proud to be included as a contributor."
- Robert White, Executive Coach and author, Living an Extraordinary Life

"A Fuller View offers inspiration for how to respond creatively, compassionately and wisely to the myriad of opportunities and challenges of these times.  A brilliant collection of insights from people who have taken Bucky's wisdom to heart!"
