Culture Shock! Belgium: A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette (Culture Shock! Guides) (Paperback)

by Mark Elliott (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 5-9--Three series titles that give a full picture of the geography, history, government, economy, people, religion, food, and other facets of their respective countries. Although they have the same chapter titles, the details presented are very different according to the unique characteristics of each country. All three books describe changes in life style from traditional times to our information age. Organization is clear and user friendly. Fine-quality, full-color photographs and reproductions draw readers in and help to hold their interest. Captions, maps, a flag, index, bibliography, glossary, a recipe, and quick notes make these selections welcome additions for report writers. They provide more detail than Norway...in Pictures (1990), Taiwan...in Pictures (1991), and Belgium...in Pictures (1991, all Lerner).

Good book, maybe a little shorter than I thought, it has 300 pages, but large letters and small pages

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a boring country and so is the book, August 13, 2008

By	Ilzo A. Mendes (Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like very much this series and although was intended to expatriates you may use the book for travels.This volume for Belgium was a fine complementation to the much more academic book A throne in Brussels;some bits are hilarious and you could learn very much about waloon/flemish conflict.The design of the series(first impressions;land and history,settling in,food and drink,culture,sport and travel,language,business and work and quiz to test yourself)is always efficient.You could use this for a global vision and then search in other books(some are indicated)or sites(a lot indicated)to deep down.
