Editorial Reviews

Review

When I read the book, I recognized immediately that it has precisely the balance between adult-level concepts and clear language that I need in developing materials for intermediate and advanced ESL students. As someone who works cross-culturally both on Guam and with the teachers I assist in the Asia Pacific Region, I am excited to find this comprehensible and respectful explanation of cultural differences. Please accept my compliments on an excellent job of intelligently simplifying and clearly explaining a complex topic. --M Johnson, ESL professor, Asia-Pacific Region

This accessible, breezy, and clear primer summarizes both the author's intense personal experiences and significant amounts of "conventional sociological wisdom." College students, international aid workers, English teachers - along with international students, global trekkers, and world citizens - would benefit from investing an hour or two reading this fine, satisfying guide to understanding human beings born and raised thousands of miles from our hometowns. --Tony C, Professor

A few typos here and there but an easy read and super-helpful. Required reading when representing a non-profit organization in a totally different culture than mine.

This book has been 1 of the greatest influences of my life. It has given me context to so many situations in life and changed my reaction. I am a nurse, and have worked in Africa, UK and USA, and this understanding has broaden my empathy & changed my approach to many scenarios. I have bought many copies, and given many copies away. It should be a textbook for all youngsters today.

How can you enter another nation without confusing or insulting those who live there? By understanding how they are in their culture. This short book is an excellent introduction to understanding the differences and how you may be able to engage in the way that culture works.

This book is informative and helpful. Concepts were eye opening to my travels past, current and future. I am better prepared for cross cultural experiences and relationships now that I have the tools to understanding hot climate and cold climate cultures.
