Stephanie Fox said Love it. I am a Spanish teacher and this is great to expose my students to proper do's and don'ts in different countries.. "Addressing the Rotary" according to Lynn Brahler. I owned the original version of this book, but wanted a newer one to share with the local Rotary. They were extremely interested in my topic and discussion that some wanted to own the book for themselves. (So I gave it away). Additionally, they found the hints and essential information important to working with diverse employees. I recommend this book and it's companions to all employers and those traveling.. "Lots of fun and guidance" according to Darcy Pryciak. There is so much data stuffed into this book about so many cultures that its almost overwhelming! This is an impressive book covering many countries and most of the information is still current, despite the fact the last version was copywrited back in the 1990s.I'd recommend this book for culture buffs as well as for general writers. A great source of ideas.
