Relationship to Fuller

Relationship: chronicler. Aaseng authored More with Less: The Future World of Buckminster Fuller (Lerner Publications, 1986), a short biography introducing R. Buckminster Fuller to young readers. The book recounts Fuller's life and his design-science ideas — the geodesic dome, Dymaxion inventions, and the "more with less" ethos of doing ever more with fewer resources — framing Fuller as an inventor and futurist for a juvenile audience. Aaseng's role is that of a popularizing chronicler rather than a scholarly biographer.
