"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 ."
