Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Lyrical meditations on life, work and hopes for the future from the beloved architect and polymath Buckminster Fuller. First published in 1976, issued in a new edition in 2008, and now back in print, And It Came to Pass - Not to Stay brings together a selection of Buckminster Fuller's (18951983) lyrical and philosophical best, including seven "essays" that address global crises and his predictions for the future - "to make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offence or the disadvantage of anyone." These essays, comprising "How Little I Know," "Complexion 1976," "What I Am Trying to Do," "A Definition of Evolution," "'And It Came to Pass' (Not to Stay)," "Soft Revolution" and "Ethics," pursue the task of ushering in a new era for humanity by "always starting with the universe." Each of the texts is written in Fuller's "ventilated prose," an essayistic poem form that breaks up his thinking into lines and stanzas. Though best known as a designer and design theorist, Fuller investigated and challenged assumptions about structure, function, materials, technology, aesthetics, services, distribution, mobility, communication, collaboration, information, recycling, politics, property and social norms. These essays present the great range and depth of Fuller's thought while elegantly weaving the personal, the playful, the simple and the profound. AUTHOR: Fuller was born in Milton MA, taught at Harvard and MIT, and in the late 1950s was named World Fellow in Residence to a consortium of universities. SELLING POINTS: . R Buckminster Fuller (1895 1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist. Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", "Dymaxion" house/car, ephemeralisation, synergetic, and "tensegrity". He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. . Consisting of some of his most influential essays. Originally published in 1976, this is a reprint of Lars Muller's long sold-out and in-demand 2008 edition. Fuller's theories and writings are still core course-adopted texts in engineering, architecture, and sustainable design.

Paperback. Condition: New. R. Buckminster Fuller (18951983) was an architect, engineer, geometrician, cartographer, philosopher, futurist, inventor of the famous geodesic dome, and one of the most brilliant thinkers of his time. For more than five decades, he set forth his comprehensive perspective on the world's problems in numerous essays, which offer an illuminating insight into the intellectual universe of this "renaissance man." These texts remain surprisingly topical even today, decades after their initial publication. While Fuller wrote the works in the 1960's and 1970's, they could not be more timely: like desperately needed time-capsules of wisdom for the critical moment he foresaw, and in which we find ourselves. Long out of print, they are now being published again, together with commentary by Jaime Snyder, the grandson of Buckminster Fuller. Designed for a new generation of readers, Snyder prepared these editions with supplementary material providing background on the texts, factual updates, and interpretation of his visionary ideas. A biography of Buckminster Fuller's "thought development," Ideas and Integrities presents an intimate self-portrait of the experiences and discoveries behind his groundbreaking ideas and inventions. Through in-depth essays like "Total Thinking," "Design for Survival Plus," and "The Comprehensive Man," spanning the period from his earliest writings to the invention of the geodesic dome and his explosion onto the world stage, he delivers a powerful manifesto for the comprehensive design revolution he had championed: "To make man a success on earth. we must design our way to positive effectiveness." Buckminster Fuller's prophetic 1962 book Education Automation brilliantly anticipated the need to rethink learning in light of a dawning revolution in informational technology "upcoming major world industry." Along with other essays on education, including "Breaking the Shell of Permitted Ignorance," "Children: the True Scientists" and "Mistake Mystique" this volume presents a powerful approach for preparing ourselves to face epochal changes on spaceship earth: "whether we are going to make it or not. is really up to each one of us; it is not something we can delegate to the politicians what kind of world are you really going to have?" 15 b/w illustrations.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A classic of utopian literature, more urgent than ever: Buckminster Fuller's provocative blueprint for the future. Composed of lectures given by Buckminster Fuller throughout the world in the 1960s, Utopia or Oblivion presents the thesis that humanity, for the first time in its history, has the opportunity to create a world where the needs of 100% of humanity are met. Fuller's grandson, in the introduction, refers to this selection as "hardcore Bucky," as these essays display Fuller's investigations into mathematics, geometry and how they intersect with the arts, music and world peace. In Fuller's words, "This is what man tends to call utopia. It's a fairly small word, but inadequate to describe the extraordinary new freedom of man in a new relationship to universe - the alternative of which is oblivion. First published in 1969 and then reprinted by Lars Mueller in 2008, Utopia or Oblivion also includes one of the earliest published discussions of Fuller's World Game, a revolutionary "game" that set as the goal for players, that the world "works" for 100% of humanity to nobody's disadvantage. It challenged players to overlook traditional world units such as nations, states and other political and economic divisions. AUTHOR: Fuller was born in Milton MA, taught at Harvard and MIT, and in the late 1950s he became a professor at Southern Illinois University (SIU), where he and his wife lived in a geodesic dome when he was in residence. In 1972 he was named World Fellow in Residence to a consortium of universities in Philadelphia, including the University of Pennsylvania. He retained his connection with both SIU and the University of Pennsylvania until his death. SELLING POINTS: . R Buckminster Fuller 1895 1983)[ was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist. Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularising terms such as "Spaceship Earth", "Dymaxion" house/car, ephemeralisation, synergetic, and "tensegrity". He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularised the widely known geodesic dome. . Back in print! Originally published in 1969 and reprinted by Lars Muller in 2008, these transcripted lectures found the basis for Fuller's utopian vision. 32 b/w illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. In "Ideas and Integrities" Buckminster Fuller 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 the 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 far more imaginative and efficient use of the resources now available to us to ensure a better standard of living for all men.
