Publisher's Synopsis
Praise for the previous edition:
"In order to acquaint a new generation with Fuller, his former architectural partner, Zung, gathers selections [from Fuller's writings] on topics ranging from education and environment to engineering and the Lord's Prayer. Admirers of Fuller-such as actress Valerie Harper, author Arthur C. Clarke, and entrepreneur Steve Forbes-introduce each selection. Zung's anthology traces the development of Fuller's intellectual life and provides an excellent introduction for a new generation to the life and work of this brilliant thinker."-Publishers Weekly
"Stimulating and provocative. . . . Like a Francis Bacon charting the course for future generations to pursue, Fuller anticipates the need for the 'comprehensive designer,' who would be a 'synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist, and evolutionary strategist.' Such a [person], he says, would be an initiator of design, able to anticipate all of man's needs and provide new and advanced standards of living for a steadily increasing percentage of the world's population."-Chicago Tribune
