Review
"They have done it again! Berry and colleagues have provided university teachers and their advanced students with unquestionably the best single volume in cross-cultural psychology. This updated text wisely integrates extensive thought and research of the past ten years with those of the forty preceding years. The result is both a stellar overview of the field and the first place to go in beginning particular focused studies. The authors provide a shelf full of books in a single tome, helping to overcome divisive sectarian differences among scholars and reminding us that expanded knowledge entails a responsibility to address national and global concerns over cultural differences." Robert C. Weigl, Ph.D., George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia
"An excellent resource...The combination of high-quality information, effective design, and easy-to-read style make the text ideal for a variety of workplace and classroom applications, and it should be considered a must-read for individuals with an interest in culture and communication." Technical Communication, Kirk St.Amant

Get to the point,
This review is from: Cross-Cultural Psychology: Research and Applications (Paperback)
This book was frustratingly boring and wordy. I expected this book to be thought provoking but some of the examples were simply dull and unimaginative. But my main problem with this text is the authors over engineered the sentences. They seemed to take the view: "Why use 10 words when 30 will do?".
