The Dymaxion World is a collection of Buckminster Fuller's explorations as an architect, engineer, philosopher, and futurist.  In this experimental book form, Fuller aimed to remind his audience that they are verbs and not nouns—that they can create things and overcome the status quo.  Fuller was awarded 25 patents, invented the geodesic dome and the dymaxion car, and was thrown out of Harvard twice.
