Exploring Culture

What a gold mine of information! What a wealth of material! Exploring Culture is a book that gives the interculturalist real substance and real tools in the same volume. I congratulate the authors for having constructed a masterpiece in intercultural training. * David Crookall, Ph.D., Universit de Nice Sophia Antipolis, Editor, Simulation and Gaming * Full of both practical approaches to intercultural learning and gems of insight into how the Hofstede dimensions work out in the real world, [Exploring Culture] will likely become a dog-eared resident of every intercultural practitioners bookshelf. * John W. Bing, ITAP International * Exploring Culture is an impressive addition tointercultural training, expertly written by three leaders in the field. Must reading for anyone concerned about the effectiveness of people working and living in other cultures. * Nancy J. Adler, Ph.D., McGill University, Montreal, Canada *
