Foreign to Familiar: A Guide to Understanding Hot - And Cold - Climate Cultures

Customer Reviews:

A clear, brief, practical introduction

By Russ Reaves "Never met a book I didn't like." - January 8, 2005

Sarah A. Lanier, Foreign to Familiar (Hagerstown, MD: McDougal Publishing,

2000), 128pp.

Learn how to communicate cross-culturally

By Louise Leopold - June 6, 2002

As a college Professor, I have been using this book as a textbook to help my students learn how to communicate cross-culturally for almost 2 years now. It is a real eye openner both for students from Mid-America and for students from Latin America and Asia. It is so easy to be mis-understood. This study can heal the wounds and rejection that many people feel when they try to relate at work and in the community. Better yet, it can help us to prevent the hurts in the first place. I give it an A+.
