Produktbeschreibung
Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was the quintessential "World Man," an inventor, engineer, and visionary who sought nothing less than the operational manual for humanity. This comprehensive biography traces his extraordinary life, from his dramatic personal failures and the invention of the Geodesic Dome to the development of his radical philosophy, Synergetics. Explore how Fuller's core principle of Ephemeralization-the mandate to "do ever more with ever less"-became the geometric foundation for his most enduring ideas: the World Game, the Global Energy Grid, and the powerful metaphor of Spaceship Earth. Uncovering the man behind the geometry, this book provides deep analysis, anecdotes from his legendary lecture tours, and a critical assessment of his unfinished mission. It is the definitive study of the eccentric genius who refused specialization and provided the technical blueprint for a universally successful, sustainable future. Approx.166 pages, 28300 word count
