In The Story of N, Hugh S. Gorman analyzes the notion of sustainability from a fresh perspectivethe integration of human activities with the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogenand provides a supportive alternative to studying sustainability through the lens of climate change and the cycling of carbon. It is the first book to examine the social processes by which industrial societies learned to bypass a fundamental ecological limit and, later, began addressing the resulting concerns by establishing limits of their ownThe book is organized into three parts. Part I, The Knowledge of Nature, explores the emergence of the nitrogen cycle before humans arrived on the scene and the changes that occurred as stationary agricultural societies took root. Part II, Learning to Bypass an Ecological Limit, examines the role of science and market capitalism in accelerating the pace of innovation, eventually allowing humans to bypass the activity of nitrogenfixing bacteria. Part III, Learning to Establish HumanDefined Limits, covers the twentiethcentury response to the nitrogenrelated concerns that emerged as more nitrogenous compounds flowed into the environment. A concluding chapter, The Challenge of Sustainability, places the entire story in the context of constructing an ecological economy in which innovations that contribute to sustainable practices are rewarded.
