307 A Guided Tour of Buckminster Fuller
308 This splendid book sets out not to simplify Fuller but to clarify him, to make his ideas and accomplishments accessible to all readers. This is achieved through a masterful portrait of Fuller being Fuller the audience-captivator; through the use of structural models of how the universe works; and through a selective and chronological detailing of his life.' As Hugh Kenner says, ‘‘I’ll try to give a sense of the man his own books may obscure, and a guide to the system of coherences he’s given us for our space-age navigating.’’
309 ‘‘I found the book stimulating and most enjoyable ... I feel I have received a brilliant picture of Bucky by strobe lighting ---with each flash he is somewhere else. I congratulate Mr. Kenner on his achievement.’’
310 ---Arthur C. Clarke
