Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - New edition of Buckminster Fuller's first work published in 1938, which was promoted by Albert Einstein. In 43 chapters the constructor, visionary, inventor, designer, creator of language, and spectacular performer rolls out the art of independent thought. Fuller lays out an enormous horizon and Nine Chains to the Moon is equivalent to a navigation across the world we live in: 'What Is a House ', 'Death and Life', 'Longing Crosses the Sea', 'Dollarability', 'We Call it Earth', 'Stomach Rhythms', 'Ephemeralization'-from the microscopic to the automobile, to the house, to urbanity, to the image of the cosmos in constant movement. The title, said Fuller, is meant to stimulate open thinking: the 1938 world population, one person on the shoulders of another, will reach from the earth to the moon nine times! ; Die Neuauflage von Buckminster Fullers Erstlingswerk, für dessen Publikation 1938 Albert Einstein sich stark machte. In 43 Kapiteln entfaltet der Konstrukteur, Visionär, Erfinder, Designer, Sprachschöpfer und spektakuläre Performer die Kunst, auf eigene Faust zu denken. Fuller spannt einen gewaltigen Horizont auf, Nine Chains to the Moon kommt einer Navigation quer durch unsere Lebenswelt gleich: 'What Is a House ', 'Death and Life', 'Longing Crosses the Sea', 'Dollarability', 'We Call it Earth', 'Stomach Rhythms', 'Ephemeralization' - vom Mikroskopischen zum Automobil, zum Haus, zur Urbanität, zum Bild des Kosmos in ständiger Bewegung. Der Titel, sagt Fuller, stimuliere aufgeschlossenes Denken: Die Weltbevölkerung, einer auf den Schultern des anderen stehend, reicht 1938 neunmal von der Erde zum Mond!

Nine Chains to the Moon is a collection of forty-four essays on various topics in the history of science and technology, many of them exploring progressive design and the concept Fuller called 'ephemeralization', or doing more with less, which he belived would create higher living standards despite population growth. The title, a metaphor for co-operation, refers to the notion that if all the humans on Earth stood on each other's shoulders they could reach the Moon.

First edition of Fuller's first book. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author to his sister on the front pastedown, "To Rog and K With dearest love Bucky." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. An exceptional association. The title of this book was chosen "to encourage and stimulate the broadest attitude toward thought. If, in imagination, all of the people of the world were to stand upon one another's shoulders, they would make nine complete chains between the earth and the moon. If it is not so far to the moon, then it is not so far to the limits - whatever, whenever, or wherever they may be." The only limits to our thinking, then, should be the limits of the universe itself. In Nine Chains to the Moon R. Buckminster Fuller takes up his own challenge and brilliantly displays the unique daring of his ideas. In the course of his analysis he makes us question our commonly-accepted notions of Euclidian geometry, "good" architecture, classical solutions to economic problems, and even our use of words. It is this kind of courageous thinking that led Fuller to his invention of the Geodesic dome and the formulation of his comprehensive anticipatory design science.

First edition, presentation copy, inscribed on the front pastedown, "To Miss Florence A. Sedgwick, very sincerely, R. Buckminster Fuller, Xmas 1938". This book outlines Fuller's technological strategy for maximising the social applications of energy resources and was endorsed to the publishers by Albert Einstein. The architect and inventor Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was expelled from Harvard, yet went on to earn 47 honorary doctorates and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in the US. After suffering the death of his young daughter in 1922 and unemployment in 1927, Fuller decided to "use his experiences and intellect in the service of others. As a consequence, he spent nearly two years as a recluse, deep in contemplation about the universe and how he could best contribute to humanity" (Biography). Nine Chains drew heavily on Einstein's theoretical work, amazing the scientist, who commented to Fuller, "I cannot conceive of anything I have ever done having the slightest practical application" (Everything I Know, Section 2, part 1). The recipient is likely Fuller's cousin. Buckminster Fuller Institute, Everything I Know, and Biography. Octavo. With 2 folding charts, diagrams to the text.
