NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: GREAT CIRCLES, OR HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN DOME HOME by RUPERT AND FELICITY GLOVER (1972) Published in 1972 by Alister Taylor, Wellington, New Zealand, "Great Circles, or How to Build Your Own Dome Home" is one of the finest, and scarcest, books published on building a geodesic dome house. Written by Rupert and Felicity Glover, this heavily visual volume (wonderfully photographed and complete with templates) traces, step-by-step, their personal process in building a geodesic dome house to counter the burdens building and property regulations were imposing on New Zealand residents (and residents all over the world to this day). "[...] This is a book which tells you how to beat them at their own game by building the most efficient structure, in terms of a space-materials ratio, yet discovered. In short, this is a housing plan for the alternative society. In it we describe for you a geodesic dome we built ourselves in the summer of 1971-72. It took us six weeks, it cost us about $1500, and it's beautiful. You could build it faster, for at no time did we have more than two people working on it, and you could build it cheaper, by using demolition materials and having your own workshop. But the main thing is that you can build it and they don't make a cent out of it. This is a chance to use the ingenuity which keeps the alternative society going. If they have rules, break them only as a last resort. It is much better to find ways of making them inappropriate or irrelevant. By building a dome you can do just this. This book gives you simple but full instructions for making a geodesic dome. The dome was invented by the visionary genius, R. Buckminster Fuller, who refers to this planet as "Spaceship Earth", and remarks that it didn't come with an instruction book. We have used some of Fuller's ideas, some from other people, and some of our own. We expect you to do the same, because this book makes no rules. It tells how to do something that we have done, but it certainly does not say you must do it the way we did [...]" First, only edition.
