      From my Guardian<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=34ae6abdcf&e=d78535f552>article:

"We radical animals<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=04f6ebbaa3&e=d78535f552>
face
the barriers of the planet's carrying capacity. How to confine our
illimitability – our creative and destructive capacity to reframe reality –
within the toughest of natural limits?

"My studies of the power and potential of play over the last decade have
shown that humans truly thrive when they are able to act freely, to master
skills they choose to master, and can take non-fatal risks under conditions
of ultimate security.

"A green politics has to be thinking passionately about zones of creativity
and innovation for human beings, as well as the constraints and duties of
low-carbon living. Otherwise the transformative dimension of our own nature
will end up repressed and frustrated".

planet...What's to be done?*

") *Humans are restlessly innovative creatures - it's what gave us our
evolutionary advantage. But that creativity - in the form of a wasteful
consumer culture - has pushed our planet to the limits of its carrying
capacity. How do we find a new, less toxic balance between innovation,
sustainabilty and human nature?*

Hi, I'm *PAT KANE*, and I'm inviting you to
pre-order<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=adceae17de&e=d78535f552>a
copy of my forthcoming book,
*RADICAL ANIMAL: Innovation, Sustainability and Human Nature. *

If you want to know the central argument, my recent lead op-ed for The
Guardian newspaper
<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=8258eef043&e=d78535f552>is
a good place to start. I've also started a community website at
www.radicalanimal.net.
<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=225545fd1d&e=d78535f552>

But I'm also trying to bring out the book in a new, sustainable way. *I'm
asking my networks to directly support the project*, rather than going to a
traditional publisher. And I'm going to use *all the new distribution
techniques* - like print-on-demand, and e-books (Kindle, iBook et al) - *to
reduce its impact on the planet.*

*Our crowdfunding site at
Indiegogo<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=4d3aa3134f&e=d78535f552>
* gives you a number of ways to express your support.

   - The *main option*<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=5a4e784365&e=d78535f552>is
through a
   *pre-order package* - including e-copy, hard-copy and a mention in the
   "honor-roll" at the back - costing* $35*.
   - Double that price, and* $70* will bring you a *unique customised
   version of the book
*<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=e4d63b3b7f&e=d78535f552>(paper
   and digital) with five of your questions about Radical Animal answered by
   me, and incorporated as an afterword to your book. There's other support
   options that I also invite you to
explore<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=34d236c444&e=d78535f552>
   .

I'm writing the book as you read this mail, and I hope to bring it out
before the end of 2011. But if you're interested in my exploration into one
of the thorniest problems of our times - how to express our natural
creativity as "radical animals", without the results of this innovation
bringing climactic disaster to this planet - then I'd really welcome your
support<http://radicalanimal.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a5aef7f07c141680fe4c168bd&id=23f59ff702&e=d78535f552>,
at whatever level you can manage.

Best wishes, Pat Kane,
