Buckminster Holds Court by K. B. Williamson Pdf

Twenty-something Buckminster, or "Buck" as he is known to most, lives a pretty typical life in the house he shares with seven others near the University of Ottawa. Buck thinks his biggest challenge is grappling with the annoyances of living with several different personalities, but little does he know that danger, betrayal, and death lurks in the shadows. Life is about to become anything but typical for Buck. As the students approach the fateful week leading up to the G-8 and G-20 summits held in Ontario in June 2010, they are clueless that there has been an enormous political and social change within the Western and Canadian worlds in response to perceived societal threats. Even worse, one of Buck's roommates is fixated on becoming the best stalker and cross-terrain ghost in the world with one lofty goal-to intimidate and scare a few unlucky souls. As the week progresses, Buck and his roommates soon realize that their insulated lives are about to be exposed in ways they never could have imagined. In this riveting thriller, it is up to the residents of 395 Nelson Street to escape from a dangerous web of deceit-before it is too late.

Grunch* of Giants by R. Buckminster Fuller Pdf

With the appearance of Grunch of Giants, R. Buckminster Fuller consummates his literary canon, his panoramic lifetime survey of all aspects of the responsibility of human beings for their own destiny. This book is a modern allegory - his long-gestated myth-of the villainy of capitalism and the fecklessness of classic economics. For Fuller, the academic discipline of economics is irrelevant since it derives from an invalid assumption of scarcity. In fact, he has long argued that future historians of our era may subsume our business practices as a branch of mythology; thus it is not surprising that the word economic appears nowhere in his text. Fuller’s myth is no idle fairy tale, since he faces his question - the question of a technological imperative which only he could raise with the deadly seriousness of satire. That question is: Can our system of national political sovereignties and corporate profits survive the inevitable technology revolution required to obviate wars by effecting a worldwide rise in the standard of living. One of the functions of myth is to resolve contradictions in our culture. Grunch of Giants portrays the rising of multinational corporations in the paradoxical role of function both as the epitome of capitalistic selfishness and as the inadvertent vehicle for the dissolution of national political boundaries - the last deterrent to a one-world economy. The result is more subversive of the property and profit values of the capitalist system than anything dreamed of since Karl Marx. —E.J. Applewhite, collaborator with RBF on Synergetics and Synergetics 2, author of Cosmic Fishing: A Memoir of Working With R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller by Princeton University School of Architecture,Princeton Architectural Press Pdf

Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was one of the most innovative and influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Best known as the inventor of the geodesic dome, Fuller sought out long-term, technology-led solutions to the world's most pressing social and environmental problems. His prodigious creative output-from visionary architectural works and experimental structures to expressive drawings and poetic musings-foreshadowed today's green design and prefab housing movements. R.Buckminster Fuller: World Man documents his never-before-published 1966 Kassler lecture at Princeton University School of Architecture. Delivered at the height of his career (Fuller had appeared on the cover of Time magazine in 1964), he used the lecture to reflect on and synthesize his most significant concepts. In addition to a faithful facsimile of the lecture's typewritten transcript, the book includes an introductory essay on Fuller's work, a glossary of key terms and phrases, and an interview with Robert Geddes, the dean responsible for bringing Fuller to teach and lecture at the school.
