Description
The series is projected to cover many countries, and three other volumes are cited in this issue of Reference and Research , on China (entry DS701), Indonesia (DS611), and the USA (E11). The intent is to provide practical information about culture, customs, and details of daily life that will be useful to travellers, business people, and new residents. Each volume, written by people who've straddled the cultures, concludes with a "cultural quiz" in which situations are described with a choice of actions and explanations of the correct choices. The bibliographies include both guidebooks and general works. Informative, entertaining, and thoughtfully done. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
