An integrated approach to understanding and mitigating the problem of excess nitrogen
Human activities generate large amounts of excess nitrogen, which has dramatically altered the nitrogen cycle. Reactive forms of nitrogen, especially nitrate and ammonia, are particularly detrimental. Given the magnitude of the problem, there is an urgent need for information on reactive nitrogen and its effective management.
Nitrogen Overload: Environmental Degradation, Ramifications, and Economic Costs presents an integrated, multidisciplinary review of alterations to the nitrogen cycle over the past century and the wide-ranging consequences of nitrogen-based pollution, especially to aquatic ecosystems and human health.
Volume highlights include:
Comprehensive background information on the nitrogen cycle
Detailed description of anthropogenic nitrogen sources
Review of the environmental, economic, and health impacts of nitrogen pollution
Recommendations and strategies for reducing humanity's nitrogen footprint
Discussion of national nitrogen footprints and worldwide examples of mitigation policies
The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

Nitrogen is abundant in the Earth's atmosphere, but it exists primarily as an unreactive form that is relatively inaccessible by most organisms. Although the formation of reactive nitrogen is a natural process, it can be dramatically altered by human activities such as biomass burning, combustion of fossil fuels, and production of synthetic fertilizers, which collectively account for half of the reactive nitrogen in the environment. In Nitrogen Overload, Katz (2020) explores the costs and benefits associated with anthropogenic releases of reactive nitrogen at a global scale.
This 251В page book consists of 11 chapters that are organized in three sections: background information (chapters 1-4), implications (chapters 5-10), and mitigation (chapter 11) for reactive nitrogen in the environment. The first section provides information on the biogeochemistry and scale of nitrogen pollution, with chapter 1 presenting an overview of the main topics covered in the book. Chapter 2 examines the effects of human activities on the preindustrial "natural" nitrogen cycle, which Katz (2020) asserts "has been altered more than the carbon cycle or any other basic element cycle essential to life on earth (e.g., phosphorus, sulfur)." Chapter 3 discusses the major sources of nitrogen pollution to terrestrial and aquatic systems, particularly for North America, Europe, Latin America, and India, and chapter 4 describes techniques for identifying sources of reactive nitrogen with chemical, isotopic, and microbial tracers.
The remaining chapters explore the impacts, sources, and challenges for mitigation of nitrogen pollution. Chapter 5 discusses the human health impacts of reactive nitrogen, including respiratory ailments from NOx emissions and secondary production of tropospheric ozone, methemoglobinemia from elevated nitrate in drinking water, and respiratory and skin ailments from exposure to harmful algal blooms. Chapter 6 examines the impacts of reactive nitrogen on terrestrial and coastal aquatic ecosystems. Notably, Katz (2020) cites a decline in global seagrass cover by more than 29% during the last century, but also a recovery of aquatic

Healthcare affects the lives of most Americans and absorbs a large portion of the United States' resources. It also is continually debated, prompting ongoing legislative changes and market restructuring. One of the best ways to understand healthcare, in all its complexity, is from an economic perspective--that is, from the perspective of the financial self-interest of all involved parties. Health Policy Issues: An Economic Perspective takes just such an approach. Renowned author Paul J. Feldstein describes the forces that press for change in healthcare and explains why the US health system has evolved to its current state. This book's 38 concise, issue-oriented chapters cover various aspects of the US health system, including the cost of medical care, health insurance, Medicare and Medicaid, physician and nursing shortages, medical school admittance, malpractice reform, prescription drugs, and more. Throughout, the book integrates information about the most significant health policy enacted in many years--the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Discussion questions, key points, and further readings round out every chapter. Thoroughly revised and updated with current data and research findings, this seventh edition includes new and expanded content on the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, physician malpractice reform, employee health benefits, generic drug shortages, political versus economic markets, and much more. The updated content includes three new chapters: "Should Profits in Healthcare Be Prohibited?" discusses the role of profits and the consequences of eliminating profit."Health Associations and the Political Marketplace" focuses on the types of legislation demanded by different health associations and explores the economic self-interest of each association's members and policy preferences."The Affordable Care Act: Did It Achieve Its Goals?" examines one of the most important objectives of the ACA--to reduce the number of uninsured Americans--and complements the ACA coverage throughout the book. For 25 years, Health Policy Issues: An Economic Perspective has been highly regarded in the field of health policy. By illuminating the intersection of economics and policy, this topical book helps readers gain a better understanding of the ever-changing and multifaceted healthcare delivery system.
