Synopsis

The visionary American philosopher, inventor, architect, mathematician and poet, Buckminster Fuller, was asked to explain his vision of how the universe works to a group of children. The book that resulted provides the most straightforward exposition of his radical world view and a loveable personal portrait. Step by step explanations on the mysteries of the universe, with interruptions by the children who could not follow him, provide insight into his dynamic teachings.
