Editorial : "One of the best undergraduate textbooks in intercultural communication."--Kenneth C.C. Yang, University of Texas at El Paso"Provides a good balance between the serious and fun aspects of studying intercultural communication. I particularly like the way the book has questions as chapter titles to introduce the more formal study of the field. The book provides more comprehensive coverage of the major concepts of intercultural communication than the competition."--Susan Opt, Salem College"This is an excellent text when teaching large lecture sections. The concepts are designated within the text in a way that the students can pick them out and know what it is that they are expected to study for exams."--Marcella La Fever,California State Stanislaus
Written in a conversational style, this book introduces students to the foundations of intercultural communication, a vibrant discipline within the field. Authors Stella Ting-Toomey and Leeva Chung take a multicontextual, inclusive approach that balances international and intercultural communication issues against U.S. domestic diversity issues. In addition to emphasizing a value-oriented perspective on intercultural encounters, the text contains a robust ethical chapter, complete with specific guidelines that will help students become ethical intercultural communicators. By integrating current empirical research with lively intercultural examples, the authors ask thought-provoking questions and pose ethical dilemmas for students to ponder. The text offers a sprawling treatment of such topics as ethnic and cultural identity change, culture shock and intercultural adjustment, romantic relationships and raising bicultural children, global identity challenges, and decision-making choices
what an amazing book! i loved the style of short lectures that were easily disgestible.. American historians are often desperate to point this out in order to regain some pride from an embarrassing conflict. The book that came was quite small and an easy 1-2 hour read. Much more content and instruction than other air brush books I've recently purchased. As the book unfolds, this "plant" blossoms. If you're planning a visit, this book is essential.. Twenty-two years remain for Berlin at this point, the focus of the final volume. Joey Blue's book has given me comfort
with a whole universe of information about which I knew nothing.
This is a real Step-by-Step process that gives the uninitiated a comfort zone
from which to ask some questions about what a data base can actually do. Perfect !!!!
Jean-Pierre Zoetbrood. Although geared specifically toward members of the LDS Church, the book is an invaluable tool for anyone interested in overcoming an addiction or help
