And it Came to Pass – Not to Stay brings together Buckminster Fuller’s lyrical and philosophical best, including seven “essays” in a form he called his “ventilated prose”, and as always addressing the current global crisis and his predictions for the future. These essays, including “How Little I Know”, “What I am Trying to Do“, “Soft Revolution”, and “Ethics”, put the task of ushering in a new era of humanity in the context of “always starting with the universe”. In rare form, Fuller elegantly weaves the personal, the playful, the simple, and the profound.

Critical Path by R. Buckminster Fuller, Kiyoshi Kuromiya, Adjuvant
Critical Path by R. Buckminster Fuller, Kiyoshi Kuromiya, Adjuvant
Critical Path is R. Buckminster Fuller's masterwork - the summing up of a lifetime's thought and concern - as urgent and relevant today as it was upon its initial publication. Critical Path details how humanity found itself in its current situation - at the limit of the planet's resource and facing political, economic, environmental, and ethical crises. Fuller's analysis has been proven correct in many areas since it was first propounded and the options he presents for the very survival of mankind remain as compelling as ever. Critical Path provides an understanding of the essential dilemmas of our time and shows how each individual can respond effectively to the unprecedented threats of the modern landscape. It is an essential text for any student of humanity.

Grunch of Giants by R. Buckminster Fuller
Grunch of Giants by R. Buckminster Fuller
The title of this 'sequel' to Critical Path is Fuller's acronym for "Gross Universe Cash Heist." Written in the 1980's in allegorical form, this serious satire about the rise of multi-national corporations, capitalistic selfishness and the technological revolution emphasizes that our present economic system, and the theories on which it is based are no longer useful because of its false assumption of scarcity.
