Though this book was written for health care professionals, it would be an excellent addition to the library of anyone who wants to effectively interact with cultures from around the world. It is well organized and concise; but, it is also thorough in its explanations of the ins and outs of a wide variety of cultures and religions. It was purchased for a class that I am taking, but I use it at work as well. Several others have also asked to borrow it and found it helpful too.

This is a very helpful guide to a variety of (mostly) religious practices of different cultures and special needs to be kept in mind when helping patients. I teach diversity in health care on the college level and recommend this book to my students. I do ask them to remember it is a *guide* and may not apply to all who practice certain religions.

Good Transaction, Thank you.
