Summary
The World Health Organisation defines a drug as any substance other than food, water or oxygen that enters the body and changes the way it works. This fast-paced programme considers a range of drugs - legal and illegal - that are available to young people. The programme includes comments from Professor Margaret Hamilton, Director of Turning Point Alcohol and Drug Centre as well as several dramatised scenarios of situations where young people might try legal drugs. Real Smart is both humorous and engaging, yet deals seriously with the subject in a way younger students will relate to. Real Smart looks at chocolate, coffee, soft drinks and prescription medicines as well as several illegal drugs, and considers: - The difference between using drugs for medical or recreational reasons - Which drugs are legal or illegal? - Which drugs are harmful? - Which drugs are most accessible to young people?

Summary
Starbucks is the essential success story of the American capitalist dream. From humble beginnings in 1971 as a Seattle coffee store, it's become a multinational with over 21,000 outlets in 63 countries. Its brand is universally known. How did they do it? Starbucks' success owes a lot to the vision of its guiding light, CEO Howard Schultz, who preaches an almost evangelical brand of caring capitalism, at the same time focusing relentlessly on the customer experience. Acquisition, brand-stretching, social media, and new channel development have all played a part. They put a lot of stress on caring for their staff and the in-store atmosphere. They want customers to feel it's their Starbucks. Good Citizen? CEO Howard Schultz talks about creating a philosophically different business but is it really? Critics point to low pay and scheduling pressures for staff, tax avoidance and, above all, the pittance developing world farmers receive for the coffee beans.

Summary
Lawsuits over coffee burns, playground injuries, even bad teaching: litigation "horror stories" create the impression that Americans are greedy, quarrelsome, and sue-happy. The truth, as this book makes clear, is quite different. What Thomas Burke describes in Lawyers, Lawsuits, and Legal Rights is a nation not of litigious citizens, but of litigious policies--laws that promote the use of litigation in resolving disputes and implementing public policies.
