Best Cross Cultural Communication book I've read, Jan 18 2011
By Reba Orton - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: An Introduction to Intercultural Communication: Identities in a Global Community (Paperback)
This book describes the effect of culture on sensing, perception, selection, organization, and interpretation. I also learned that cross cultural communication as a field has a lot of statistical information that allowed one to see the ratings the countries had on various characteristics. The information that I found in the book was arranged in such a way that I could read a page or two each day and still learn something new or interesting. I also liked the information I found near the end of the book on the four types of marriages: traditional, independent, separate, and mixed.Overall, this book is a good read! I highly recommend it.
