Kim Fellner's book moves seamlessly from the personal to the
global, from the cultural to the political. She has created,
in a jaunty and fact-filled odyssey, an examination of Starbucks,
which becomes a metaphor for ways we live and operate in the world.
Providing an abundance of food for thought , and making it all entertaining, Ms. Fellner's book is as stimulating as a double

which allows the reader to examine the paradoxes of a "benevolent"
large-scale company, which happens to also wield cultural influence.
