1.		Grunch of Giants from Design Science Press Price: $28.50 Customer Review: This book has helped me understand the origins of corporations and their inherent structure, based on greed and becoming more efficient at making a profit. Our technology is so far advanced, that we can feed the world with our current technologies, yet corporations for profit prevent this, that is... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Critical Path from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $11.72 Customer Review: Although I heard Fuller speak at Muhlenberg College in 1973 or so, I had not read his books and for me Critical Path was a very healthy reminder that long before many of the current authors, Buckminster Fuller had a grip on the basics: 1) Economic theory of scarcity and secrecy is evil,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.	[no image]	Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth from Southern Illinois University Press Customer Review: I was actually expecting an Operating Manual. Although what I ended up with is a 136-page double-spaced "overview" by Buckminster Fuller, a sort of "history and future of the Earth in 5,000 words or less, bracketed by a *wonderful* introduction by grandchild Jamie Snyder, an index, a two-page... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Alcohol Can Be a Gas!: Fueling an Ethanol Revolution for the 21st Century from International Institute for Ecological Agriculture Price: $29.46 Customer Review: There is good information in this book but the author sure makes you dig for it. If you can get past all the conspiracy theory and political rants (none of which are backed up by facts) you will get useful information in a very generic overall picture. I was hoping this book would contain a few... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		And It Came to Pass - Not to Stay from Lars Müller Publishers Price: $10.99 Customer Review: This is a book written nearly at the end of Mr. Fuller's life. "It Came to Pass Not to Stay" is an amazing piece of work; the word that comes to my mind when reading (besides brilliant, genius, etc) is efficiency. There is not one superfluous word in this book. Buckminster's style here is an... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.	[no image]	Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking from Scribner Customer Review: Few people know that Buckminster Fuller had a transforming experience when he was about 35 years old. This event dissuaded him from committing suicide, and launched him on his remarkable career. From that point on Fuller decided to "think for himself," and no longer was subject to the assumptions of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.	[no image]	Design for the Real World : Human Ecology and Social Change from Bantam Books Customer Review: Victor Papanek's book is not only readable, it might just change your life. This should be required reading for students of design everywhere as the ideas presented are as relevant today as they were 30 years ago. Papanek's writing style is accessible and his passion is contagious. Although some of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Utopia or Oblivion: The Prospects for Humanity from Lars Müller Publishers Price: $12.10 Customer Review: In its day (1969-72, when I first read it), this was one of those inspirational heartbreakers -- why can't EVERYONE see the promise of the approaching possible Golden Era? But with time (what, over 35 years now, since I first read it) even the great futurist himself seems a little dated. And I'd... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Grunch of Giants from Book Publishing Company (TN) Price: $45.95 Customer Review: The following quote from the book speaks volumes about Fuller's remarkable insight into what ails the world today. Read the quote and decide for yourself if the book has anything to offer in regard to understanding how we find ourselves in financial crisis. Fuller had a very unique style of writing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
