"Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth" by R. Buckminster Fuller

We are all astronauts. A blueprint for our survival.

Here is the perfect introduction to the thoughts of the world-famous philosopher, visionary, and multimedia thinker who has been called "the Leonardo of our age."

Operating Manual is even more relevant now than when it was first published in 1969. Here, in a mood at once philosophical and involved, Fuller traces human intellectual evolution and wieghs our capability for survival on this magnificent craft, this Spaceship Earth.

Buckminster Fuller, probably most widely know for designing the geodesic dome and Dymaxion car (among twenty-six other patented inventions), was honored in his lifetime with dozens of international awards, and received thirty-nine honorary degrees from universities.
