巴克明斯特·富勒是全球知名的设计科学家、建筑师、作家、诗人、工程师,也是一位真正的远见卓识者,远远领先于他的时代。作为他八十六岁生日的惊喜礼物,他收到了《Synergetic Stew》:这是一本由他的朋友和同事贡献的烹饪食谱汇编,分享了个人趣事和对富勒一生的幽默回忆,例如回忆了巴基对各种茶叶的有点古怪但充满激情的喜爱。书中散布着富勒本人写的有吸引力的文字和诗歌,甚至包括一份番茄冰淇淋的配方。这本书是对富勒一生的一瞥,由他的同龄人讲述,并嵌入了近百个可实现的食谱。其中有一些是对富勒作品的欢乐颂歌,如Shirley Sharkey的《GEODESICANDY》、John Cage撰写的《微生物饮食》或Amy Edmondson的《Allspace-Filling Whole Wheat Bread》。除了摹本,富勒的孙子詹姆·斯奈德(Jaime Snyder)还通过他与食物之间的轶事,反映了巴基性格中经常被忽视的一面。所有撰稿人的简短介绍使重印本更加完整。
Buckminster Fuller is globally known as a design scientist, architect, author, poet, engineer, and a true visionary, way ahead of his time. As a surprise gift for his eighty-sixth birthday, he received Synergetic Stew: a compilation of cooking recipes contributed by his friends and colleagues, sharing personal anecdotes and humorous recollections of Fuller s life, such as a reminiscence about Bucky s somewhat peculiar but enthusiastic love for tea, in all its variations. Scattered throughout the book are enticing texts and poems from Fuller himself, including even a recipe for tomato ice cream. This book is a glimpse into Fuller s life, told by his peers and embedded in nearly a hundred achievable recipes. A few of them are joyful odes towards Fuller s oeuvre, such as Shirley Sharkey s GEODESICANDY, the Microbiotic Diet by John Cage, or Amy Edmondson s Allspace-Filling Whole Wheat Bread. In addition to the facsimile, Fuller s grandson Jaime Snyder reflects upon often over- looked facets of Bucky s character, revelead through anecdotes of his relationship with food. Short profiles of all contributors complete the reprint.
