This book analyzes the economics of the food industry at every stage between the farm gate and the kitchen counter.Central to the text are agricultural marketing problems such as the allocation of production between competing products (such as fresh and frozen markets), spatial competition, interregional trade, optimal storage, and price discrimination. Topics covered will be useful to students who expect to have careers such as food processing management, food sector buying or selling, restaurant management, supermarket management, marketing/advertising, risk management, and product development. The focus is on real world-relevant skills and examples and on intuition and economic understanding above mathematical sophistication, although the text does draw on the nuances of modern economic theory.

The FBI, assisted by members of other federal agencies, is in a desperate search for a team of Russian sleeper agents who have lain dormant since the Cold War. But when they are activated by some person or nation unknown, the nation reels. Julie Delaney Long (JD) is the only wheelchair-using FBI special agent, and the FBI, the President, and the country must rely on her. Acts of terrorism pock the nation as JD leads her team in the pursuit of these nefarious sleeper agents. While initial evidence points toward the Russian president, it is up to JD to determine the true power behind the attacks and solve the case before more damage is done to the country.
