From theory to practice

Understandable, practical book on how societal culture influence human behaviour and how this knowledge can be (and already is) applicated in various cross-cultural training programmes. The author combines the theory with examples from every-day life, so that the book can be understood by non-academic population.

Brislin makes it easy

Understanding Culture's Influence (2nd edition) has been my "foundation" book for a college course entitled Diversity In the Workplace. Dr. Brislin uses an easy to follow format which is loaded with excellent analogies, making complex topics understandable. My only negative comment would be for the publisher. As this book is used as a text, the selection of print paper was poor. Highlighters bleed through from one page to the next which makes spotting important information difficult on review.

Excelent! Academic but Readable. Suitable as textbook.

Of the many good books on the subject of intercultural communication and psychology, this hits a good balance of readability and academic soundness. Lots of good illustrations. Great text for college intercultural communication courses.
