I've been waiting for this book! I interviewed Bucky as a young journalist, and the rush of profound ideas is exactly as this charming story describes. It also proves that serious is not necessarily synonymous with solemn. --Bill McKibben, founder, 350.org, environmental author and journalist My father was a great teacher because he made people think for themselves, just as this writer learns to do, and as readers will too. I am very excited about this critically timed true story. --Allegra Fuller Snyder, Buckminster Fuller's daughter Ravasio makes profoundly relevant ideas easily accessible in this delightful narrative. These ideas are needed more than ever, especially now as America and the planet struggles. --Amy Edmonson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, author of A Fuller Explanation: The Synergetic Geometry of Buckminster Fuller Buckminster Fuller was the Leonardo da Vinci of the twentieth century. --Steve Jobs, founder, Apple
