Product Description

Publishers Weekly
"Fuller is brought down to earth in this absorbing biographical study. Sieden succeeds in demonstrating how Fuller's search for Nature's underlying rules of harmony and efficiency is relevant to fields ranging from aviation and manufacturing technology to environmentalism, housing, parapsychology and extraterrestrial anthropology."

Allan Ray Putnam - Former Director, American Society for Metals
"Buckminster Fuller's Universe is an interpretative work of astounding clarity. The author has succeeded in absorbing Dr. Fuller, with all his intricacies, and bringing him back to us as vibrant and thought provoking as ever, in a way that we can understand. When you were with Bucky Fuller, you could sense that his tremendous energy and feeling of excitement permeated his surrounding. Lloyd Sieden's book conveys this wondrous excitement as he so clearly sets forth Fuller's significant underlying principles. This book is an excursion into Buckminster Fuller's universe that the reader will wish to return to again and again."

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book., 16 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This is one of the greatest books I've ever had the pleasure to read. Lloyd Steven Sieden has written a remarkably simple book about such a complex subject. I have gained a deeper understanding of Bucky's motives and principles that no other Fuller book has. I am looking forward to a world which embraces his philosophy!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent work on a complex man., 4 Sep 2000
By A Customer
An excellent book that reveals much of the enigmatic Mr. Fuller. This book makes the "experiment" that was Buckminster Fuller's life easy to grasp. I enjoyed learning so many things about perhaps the most visionary human of the modern era.
