In STARBUCKED, Taylor Clark provides an objective, meticulously reported look at the volatile issues like gentrification and fair trade that distress activists and coffee zealots alike.Through a cast of characters that includes coffee-wild hippies, business sharks, slackers, Hollywood trendsetters and more, STARBUCKED explores how America transformed into a nation of coffee gourmets in only a few years, how Starbucks manipulates psyches and social habits to snare loyal customers, and why many of the things we think we know about the coffee commodity chain are false. 1624842 5 11 2007 Starbucked: A Double Tall Tale of Caffeine, Commerce, and Culture total:279|5:49|4:119|3:94|2:15|1:2| 279 1035 513 90 5 2 false false Thu May 15 06:24:49 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 05:22:32 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 06:27:52 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Feb 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 12:29:21 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 12:29:50 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Nov 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 29 20:16:18 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 20:16:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Dec 19 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 07:31:43 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 08:55:06 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 10:55:17 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 12:11:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu May 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 09:56:35 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 14:29:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Nov 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Oct 24 18:14:55 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 16 11:03:53 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Aug 03 15:43:03 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 15:43:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Sep 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 20 18:32:46 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 07:10:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 15 06:39:33 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 08 14:23:45 -0700 2009
