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.
