This is another book that is worth reading. It really introduces you to Intercultural Communications and give you an understanding of different cultures and aptitudes.

This is a great book to learn about intercultural communication. It has lots of information, pictures, examples and stories that help you understand more about other cultures and ethnics. Good combination with a knowledgeable teacher! ;-)

This book describes the effect of culture on sensing, perception, selection, organization, and interpretation. I also learned that cross cultural communication as a field has a lot of statistical information that allowed one to see the ratings the countries had on various characteristics. The information that I found in the book was arranged in such a way that I could read a page or two each day and still learn something new or interesting. I also liked the information I found near the end of the book on the four types of marriages: traditional, independent, separate, and mixed.
Overall, this book is a good read! I highly recommend it.

This book was used as a textbook for a graduate class. The Amazon.com price was MUCH better than the University bookstore price.

I thought the quality of the book was better than expected as was the timeliness of shipment. Great transaction- will use buyer again

I didn't expect to get the book to soon, I got it on time. I Signed up for the student discount and no problems. Customer service very helpful. I'm very thankful.

I am using this book to teach a college level course on Intercultural Communication. I can in no way recommmend it as it is poorly written and poorly organized with the inclusion of irrelevant material and stereotypical characterizations of other cultures.
