Macmillan
Macmillan, whose two titles in this corpus sit at opposite ends of the Fuller literature: a children's biography and a treatise on higher-dimensional polytopes.
Macmillan published Athena V. Lord's Pilot for Spaceship Earth, a narrative biography of Fuller aimed at younger readers, built from interviews with friends and relatives, examination of public records, and attendance at Fuller's own lectures.
It also published the 1963 second edition of H. S. M. Coxeter's Regular Polytopes, the standard treatment of regular polytopes in four and higher dimensions — the mathematical literature Fuller's geometry ran alongside. The Dover edition of 1973 reprints that Macmillan second edition with a new preface.

Role in Fuller's world
Macmillan is a reminder that Fuller's reception ran on two tracks at once. The same publisher carried the popular, biographical Fuller to children and the formal polytope mathematics that his synergetic geometry both borrowed from and argued with.
