New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1981
First edition. First printing. Signed by R. Buckminster Fuller on the title page, and additionally signed by the adjuvant Kiyoshi Kuromiya. A slight warp to the front board, and some bumping at the extremities. Foxing to the outer text block edges but the contents all but fine. The unclipped dust jacket foxed to the verso only, with some creasing at the extremities and faint sunning to the spine. A very good or better copy overall, most desirable with this dual signature. One of Fuller’s most admired works, an all encompassing assessment - economic, political and environmental - of the present state of humanity, with a vision for a sustainable future.
