This book gives an excellent overview of the issues involved in inter-cultural communication. The current theories are examined and very practical examples are provided throughout. I was particularly impressed with its readability. The language used is clear and easy to understand and the examples used are excellent. Each chapter is summarized effectively at the end with discussion questions to follow. An excellent resource for anyone serious about improving their understanding of inter-cultural communication.

An excellent book on cultures, values and how we communicate

This is an excellent book that begins with what culture is and how deeply ingrained cultural values are in us all. You will learn the different factors involved in the inculturation process and how the way we perceive and communicate in the world is shaped by the values we hold important. The book has plenty of examples of values many cultures consider important and how this effects their communication. I really enjoyed reading this book. If you communicate, you should read this book!
