About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1981. R. Buckminster Fuller is regarded as one of the most important figures of the 20th century, renowned for his achievements as an inventor, designer, architect, philosopher, mathematician, and dogged individualist. Perhaps best remembered for the Geodesic Dome and the term "Spaceship Earth," his work and his writings have had a profound impact on modern life and thought. Critical Path is Fuller's master work--the summing up of a lifetime's thought and concern--as urgent and relevant as it was upon its first publication in 1981.Text details how humanity found itself in its current situation—at the limits of the planet's natural resources and facing political, economic, environmental, and ethical crises. 471 pp. Illustrated. Kiyoshi Kuromiya, adjuvant. Minor tiny scuff to lower outer edge corner. Gilt spine. Dustjacket spine slightly sunned. Dustjacket in mylar. Signed, Dated and Inscribed by Buckminster Fuller on the title page. Scarce.. Signed by Author. First Edition, Second Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
