"A masterful piece of work! It is a story that ought not to be forgotten and I am very glad Dunn has been so diligent and determined to bring it to light" --JEFFREY AMESTOY, former Attorney General and retired Chief Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court.
"Breach of Trust is an important book, because today so little is known about Judge Wheel and the lessons to be learned from her reign. An excellent contribution to Vermont judicial history, Well-written and entertaining, "Breach of Trust" is a must read for Vermont attorneys and those concerned about our system of justice." --JAMES MORSE, retired Vermont Supreme Court Justice.
Voted the number one Vermont news story for 1987, Breach of Trust chronicles the ethics scandal that shook the roots of the Vermont judiciary in the mid-1980s. The scandal led to Chittenden County Assistant Judge Jane Wheel becoming the first and only Vermont judge ever charged with a criminal felony. It also led to unprecedented charges of ethical misconduct against three highly respected Vermont Supreme Court justices, making it the first time a justice was charged with a violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct.
Breach of Trust follows the political and legal struggles as Judge Wheel found herself being investigated for misusing public funds, an investigation she charged was "politically motivated," and likened to the "Salem Witch trials." Charged criminally, Judge Wheel, her attorneys and the attorney general face off in an epic, month-long criminal trial involving testimony from Supreme Court justices, judges, politicians and court employees. At the same time, the state's Judicial Conduct Board formerly charged Supreme Court Justices Hill, Hayes and Gibson with twenty-four violations of judicial ethics. All of the allegations of misconduct centered on the justices' close personal relationship with Judge Wheel, and actions they took to protect her during the investigation, culminating in an unprecedented three-week ethics trial before the Judicial Conduct Board.

Meticulously researched and masterfully conceived, The United States of Empire by journalist and historian James F. Dunn provides not only a timely but also an extensive sociological, political and historical look at the United States of America as it entered the First Word War. Bold in its premise and wide in its scope, the author leaves no stone unearthed as he parlays a neoclassic framework to gain momentum of a tale of American influence burgeoning and expanding, initiating a lively and readable debate that demands that readers begin viewing the past century in a whole new light. Subsequent to American involvement in the War to End All Wars, the US government's international protocol had been as a hemispheric power, but henceforth the US's impact became an escalating imperial force in the twentieth century. If you read one book on contemporary American history, make this the book.

Economics of the Food System

Economics of the Food System provides a comprehensive overview of the food system, beginning with the physical and geographical context of United States agriculture. Concepts and tools of applied economics are then used to analyze the structure and economic characteristics of each component of the food system. Over the course of the text, students learn about agricultural supply, demand, and prices, market elasticities and derived demand, food processing, wholesaling, retailing and food service, and the international food market. They also study the role of transportation, the law of one price, risk management, storage, and emerging issues and challenges for the food system. Throughout the text, the focus is on how markets function to ensure that people have the food they want to eat, when and where they want to eat it. As they read, students will have constant opportunities to consider the key forces that shape the food system's ongoing evolution. With its comprehensive coverage of all aspects of food system economics and its attention to practical economic applications, Economics of the Food System is ideal for courses in agricultural economics or agribusiness
