The Clock is Stopping: The Human Scenario
|
Our Price: $15.50
|
|
|
The visionary, designer, architect, poet, author and inventor who brought the term "synergy" into the realm of popular speech, Buckminster Fuller shares many of his original ideas in this series of monologues. Here he broaches problems as large as those of reality (and that reality no longer constitutes what one can see, hear, taste, feel and touch) and the moment of "final examination" that humanity now finds itself in that requires establishing a new relationship with the universe. (Also check out COOK05025 Buckminster Fuller Speaks His Mind.)
