  The Dueling Loops of the Political Powerplace

  Dear fellow readers,

  This is my first book, and I'm in the pre-publication stage. I'm trying to get feedback so I can polish it before taking it to a real publisher. At the moment it's self-published and is available at Amazon for 12 bucks. But you can read a 29 page paper containing the core content for free at Thwink.org.

  If you really want to read the book and are running a tight budget so you can afford that eco-vacation to Costa Rica, contact me, twist my arm a little with why you want to read it, say you heard about it at Grist, and ask for a free copy. I'm a pushover, at least until I run out of copies. But please at least read the first two chapters first.

  Here's why you might like this book:

  1. It's short, at only 144 pages. You can finish it before the summer is even half over.

  2. It goes against conventional wisdom. If you want a book that sets your reading list apart from all the others, try this one. Rather than tedious descriptions and inspiration about what to do, it analyzes the sustainability problem, finds the root cause of inability to solve the problem, and pinpoints the high leverage points that offer a possible path to a solution. The way it does this is just as radical as the way Limits to Growth did it in 1972.

  3. Despite its occasional technical content, it's written in language for the layman, and is certified to be 100% jargon free. No seals were harmed in writing this book.

  4. If you want the ultimate uplift, try chapter 9, The Tantalizing Potential of a Permanent Race to the Top. You will be singing "We can do it, because now we have a way," all the way home.  Or at least I was, as I wrote it.

  Thanks from a struggling writer,
