This book is filled with wonderful facts about the nitrogen cycle. It has some good theories on global climate change and the effects nitrogen has in the environment as nitrogen levels rise. My older two kids (ages seven and almost eleven) really enjoyed the subject matter. It was a little dry, but they liked it anyway. It's a good read fir any budding environmentalist.
