This book collects some of R. Buckminster Fuller's most important recent writings on the subject of spaceship Earth: the big, inter-connected, total system that is "the only one we've got." These articles stress the need for considering our planet as a whole, rather than breaking it into its parts- as most of us continue to do. This theme is crucial to the thinking of Bucky Fuller, who, in addition to his many other appellations, has been called the "godfather" of the Whole Earth Catalog. — From the cover

Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, and inventor. Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", ephemeralization, and synergetic. He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres. Buckminster Fuller was the second president of Mensa from 1974 to 1983.
