Priceless...

I was panicking about doing a research paper for my Intercultural Communications class until I got this book. It's geared towards the differences between mainstream U.S. culture and three mainstream European cultures. It's easy to read without skimping on info. I only wish Intercultural Press had similar books for Wales.

Different ways of thinking in different nations

In Old World New World: Bridging Cultural Differences, Craig Storti (founder and director of the Washington, D.C. intercultural communication training and consulting firm Communicating Across Cultures) assembles fifty-one cross-cultural dialogues and analyses on the differences in ways of life for people in America, Britain, France, and Germany. A bibliography and index of key concepts proves helpful in using Old World New World for reference, but it makes most fascinating reading in own right even for armchair travelers who never leave their home country. Old World New World is very highly recommended for anyone interested in comparing and contrasting the different ways of thinking in different nations.
