Communicating and Adapting Across Cultures: Living and Working in the Global Village

“Communicating and Adapting Across Cultures is a comprehensive review of the published material in this complex important field. Multipurpose and comprehensive, it can be used by the neophyte as well as old hands, who being realistic, know that one can never know too much about the intercultural process when working in a multicultural world.”-Edward T. Hall Professor Emeritus Northwestern University

“I read this book after a long journey through Asia where I worked with many American men and women who are facing daunting difficulties. I could only wish each of them had read this book before they went to Asia….Most of us Americans, it is true, are ill-equipped to move beyond our borders and become comfortable and effective in a different language and culture. We need a guide–a seasoned, articulate guide. We can do no better than Riall Nolan.”-George W. Renwick President Renwick and Associates
