Foreign to Familiar		Sarah A. Lanier
$9.00	A Guide to Understanding Hot- And Cold-Climate Cultures -- a splendidly written, well-researched work on cultures. Anyone traveling abroad should not leave home without this valuable resource. Author Sarah Lanier explains how cultures around the world can fit into two basic categories and how these categories differ. Whether you are a cross-cultural worker or simply live in a cross-cultural neighborhood, you'll find this book to be a valuable resource for understanding and relating to others from a different "climate". The "Foreign" in the title of this most-helpful book once meant people and cultures "overseas." Today that has all changed. Sarah Lanier has captured the keys to understanding our own -- and others' -- ways of doing and saying things. Follow the principles in this book and the boundaries of your worldview will expand, and you will begin to comprehend your own cultural ways in the process. This book will help in learning how to understand people in other cultures or other cultural backgrounds. The author breaks down the world's cultures into two basic categories: hot climate and cold climate. Then discusses the cultural differences in these two groups including the ways they communicate. The explanations on how time is perceived differently by each group and on indirect versus direct communications are so valuable! This book is a quick-read and a must-read in today's world where "cross-cultural" may simply mean "across the street" where you live. 128 pages. Paperback. McDougal Publishing Company.
