Born on July 12: Buckminster Fuller
Sunday July 12, 2009
Long before we worried about global warming, Buckminster Fuller searched for ways to protect "Spaceship Earth." His most famous invention, the geodesic dome, is still a model for efficient, inexpensive, earth-friendly design. July 12 is "Bucky's" birthday: he was born in 1895.
