DESCRIPTION:
Consider these facts: (1) moose in Minnesota have been dying at an alarming rate; (2) the immune system of sharp-snouted day frogs in Australia were unable to resolve an emerging infection called chytridiomycosis; and (3) thousands of men in Central America have died from a mysterious disease called the “malady of the sugarcane.”In five thousand words, "Dying to Eat" offers a cogent explanation why nitrogen fertilizer may have driven some species to extinction and endanger others, including humans.
