In this short book first published in 1968 Buckminster Fuller presents the idea of Earth flying through space like a spaceship.  Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth is an important text on humanity and our ecological crisis.  Buckminster Fuller is buried on Bellwort Path.

Each month, the Mount Auburn Book Club meets to discuss a selected work related to one of Mount Auburn’s many facets.  Selections range from books on history, natural history, horticulture, art, architecture, preservation, and wildlife to books written by or about those now buried and commemorated here.  The Book Club meets in Story Chapel on the second Thursday of each month.  Coffee and tea are provided.  

Funding for programs has been provided in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
