    Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Canada is the second-largest country in the world, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific and spanning six time zones. From coast to coast lie vast forests, breathtaking mountains, flat, open plains, and thousands of lakes and rivers. It is also the world's second-most sparsely populated country. The Canadian psyche is deeply influenced by the size of the territory and the extremes of its climate. Canada's short history, and its relatively peaceful development, affects the way the Canadians view the world and their place in it. They are one of the world's wealthiest nations, with a quality of life to match, and are proud of their positive international reputation. Outsiders assume that Canadians are culturally similar to, if more modest than, their American neighbors. But Canadian society is more complex than that. This is one of the most multicultural societies in the world, due to its high level of immigration. In addition, its small population, spread thinly across a huge landmass, affects how Canadians communicate with each other. For instance, they identify more readily with their province or local community than they do with their nation. Politically and economically, the country is very decentralized. Culture Smart! Canada gives a broad overview of the geography, history, and politics of the land. It describes Canadian values and attitudes, how people relax in their spare time, and how you can make friends with them. There is a chapter on business for those who need to know what to expect in the corporate world. By preparing you for the reactions, emotions, and events that you will experience during your visit, it will deepen your understanding of the country. Canadians are open, friendly, and relaxed hosts. They will welcome you even more warmly if you demonstrate some depth of knowledge of their culture. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Culture Smart! Mexico takes you to the heart of Mexican society. It describes how people socialize and meet members of the opposite sex, the dynamics of daily life, the central importance of family, and the annual cycle of Catholic feasts and fiestas. For business travelers there are key sections on the economy and vital insights into the general business culture. The third-largest country in Latin America, Mexico is hugely diverse, having both rural areas where time seems to have stood still and manic urban centers like Mexico City, one of the most densely populated and exciting cities in the world. Famed for its well-preserved archaeological sites, cobblestoned colonial towns, and beautiful beaches, it is a major magnet for tourists. Mexico also has a name as a creative powerhouse in the region, with world-renowned artists such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, a cinema industry that has been producing award-winning movies since the Golden Age of the 1940s, and a literary scene second to none in Latin America. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Sultanate of Oman, long regarded as one of the more mysterious countries of the Arabian Peninsula, has only recently opened its doors to tourists. An ancient land, with a rich history, dramatic landscape, and diverse flora and fauna, Oman was largely cut off from the modern world until the accession to the throne of Sultan Qaboos in 1970. Since then this peaceful country has developed slowly but deliberately, placing a strong emphasis on retaining its cultural heritage while moving into the high-tech era. Oman is home to Ibadhism, a conservative but moderate form of Islam that is quite distinct from both the Sunni and the Shi a denominations. In Oman, the family comes before all else. People place great value on the time they can spend at home, and in relaxing and socializing with friends. Their gentle pace of life contrasts strongly with life in the West, and is reflected in the way they conduct business. Traditional Arabic culture coexists cheerfully with all the trappings of modern life. By examining the values, customs, and traditions of this distinctly Arabic country, Culture Smart! Oman offers an insight into modern Omani life and culture how they work and live, both in business and at home, and how they are reacting to their new influx of foreign visitors. Whether you visit Oman for business or to explore its unique landscape, you will find the Omanis to be a gentle, warm, and hospitable people, who are happy to show their beautiful country to those who treat it with respect. Ahlan wa sahlan bikum fi Oman! Welcome to Oman!". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

    Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Arriving in Panama, the broad cultural and ethnic diversity of this small country is one of its most outstanding and attractive attributes, and is reflected in its many customs. There is not just the beauty of the countryside to be discovered, but the variety of regional and local ways of life.Panama has preserved much of its indigenous Indian culture and this unique way of life continues to thrive alongside the imprint of two centuries of development. Small though it is, Panama combines the latest technology and modern commerce with an environmentally and anthropologically rich heritage. This means that you can be in the fast-moving metropolis of Panama City, and yet be less than an hour s flight away from dense rain forests and the very different indigenous cultural life.Despite continuous foreign domination in the past, the Panamanians now have complete sovereignty over their country. Masters in their own house at last, they are both proud and welcoming. Good manners are as important to them as the original laid-back Latin style, and you will find them friendly, polite, and relaxed.Culture Smart! Panama hopes to enrich your experience by offering insights into Panamanian society and sensibilities, and practical advice on how to behave in different situations. It describes the historical background, values and attitudes, and Panamanian life at work and at home. The better you come to know these resourceful and hospitable people, the warmer your welcome will be. Culture Smart guides help travellers have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

    Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book will help you to appreciate the depth and beauty of the dominant form of Christianity in Greece, Russia and much of Eastern Europe, to understand the tenets, nature and holy days of Orthodox belief, to recognize the physical features of an Orthodox church, and the spiritual significance of icons, to know what to expect and how to conduct yourself during Orthodox services and ceremonies. Orthodoxy is the dominant form of Christianity in Greece, Russia, parts of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Its practices are largely unfamiliar in the West and have remained essentially unchanged since the earliest days of the faith. This lucid introduction outlines the tenets, nature and holy days of Orthodox belief with the Western reader in mind. It describes the physical church, especially icons, services, and common practices, and offers advice to visitors on how to conduct themselves so that they are accepted and feel comfortable. Several chapters concern the life of Jesus and the beginnings of Christianity; others trace the origins and history of the Church, with particular attention to its great champion, Constantine the Great. The present structure of the Church is described in brief, and the split between the Eastern and the Western Churches is related with differences clearly explained. The great antiquity and beauty of its liturgy, its essentially minimal hierarchy and its mystical yet pragmatic approach make the Orthodox religion a powerful medium for its profound and universal message. This deceptively simple volume takes the reader on a journey to the heart of the Christian tradition.Access the world's religions with Simple Guides: Religion a series of concise, accessible introductions to the world's major religions.

    Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Iran the very name shimmers with mystique and allure, but also a sense of inaccessibility and isolation. Iran, however, is now opening up to visitors and business as never before in recent years, making visiting this country with its thousands of years of heritage and traditions not just tempting but also realistic.Beyond the cliches and the stereotypes, what is the real Iran like at the start of the twenty-first century?

It is still feeling the effects of the Islamic Revolution of 1979 a true revolution in the sense that it completely changed the country s political orientation within days.Today strict Islamic rules coexist with an increasingly dynamic society being driven by an overwhelmingly young population. And all the while, pre-Islamic Zoroastrian past is still a part of everyday life.

    Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Kazakhstan, one of the largest countries on earth, was long hidden from the rest of the world behind the Iron Curtain, and continued to remain unnoticed among the stans of Central Asia that gained independence from the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Now, twenty years later, it has emerged as a modern state with far-reaching ambitions. It has developed rapidly over the last decade, raising a brand-new capital in the middle of its vast, empty grasslands, and stepping up to take the leading position in the region. Blessed with great reserves of oil, gas, and mineral resources, it is politically and economically stable, and the richest country in Central Asia. he seemingly endless expanse of the Kazakh Steppe takes visitors by surprise. In the east and southeast the terrain eventually changes to picturesque highlands and mountains, providing natural habitats for a number of rare animal and bird species. Once home to ancient civilizations, this immense land has yielded a wealth of archaeological artefacts. The modern Kazakh people emerged from the rise and fall of a succession of medieval Turkic states before being absorbed into the Russian Empire. They were pastoral nomads, Culture Smart guides help travellers have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture.

    Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is comprised of two Caribbean islands and several islets off the coast of Venezuela. The vast majority of the population live on Trinidad, previously a colony of shifting ownership from Spain to France, Netherlands and England. As a melting-pot of multiculturalism, the island explodes into full expression each February in celebration of Carnival; a welcome-to-all celebration of its ethnic diversity and rich cultural history. The originators of calypso, limbo and steelpan, Trinbagonians can be an exhilarating, radiating people but the picturesque isle of Tobago remains a contrasting paradisiacal idyll.Trinis, as Trinidadians like to be called, have a history of slavery and indentured labour, with many of the East Indian and African population brought to work on the islands sugar plantations in the 19th century. Today, Trinis are determined to live their lives as they choose - avoiding the bureaucracy of the modern world and heralding the common sense they see as lacking at the top. They now have a booming high-income economy reinforced by an abundance of natural resources and a consistently tropical climate.With its many and varied traditions, customs, and cultures, Culture Smart! Trinidad and Tobago can help you navigate the codes and paradoxes of Trinbagonian life. It will help you arrive at the Port of Spain and explore Scarborough, Plymouth and Roxborough through the lens of a laid-back Trini. Culture Smart guides help travellers have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

    Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The historian Tadeusz Swietochowski calls Azerbaijan the quintessential borderland, many times over: between Europe and Asia, Islam and Christianity, Russia and the Middle East, Turks and Iranians, Shi a and Sunni Islam." Although a relatively young country, having declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the culture of its predominately Azeri population stretches back through a colorful history of over a thousand years. Against the backdrop of a beautiful and varied landscape, young population and successful economy, Azerbaijan has become an increasingly fascinating destination for many.It's culture, affected for centuries by pervading Persian and Russian influence, is not easily summed up, and civil discourse is often preoccupied by the question of what truly makes up the Azeri national character. Of the many facets of the Azerbaijani mentalitet, a warm, generous hospitality, an inspired can-do attitude ("bajarana jan gurban", blessed be the one who can), and a strong sense of family loyalty and care for ones elders, children and extended family, are values shared and cherished above all others.Culture Smart! Azerbaijan is most valuable in helping us to understand the country's complex present by way of a concise history of the Azeri people, their culture and the land. At somewhat of a cultural crossroads, chapters focusing on local attitudes, values, social and business etiquette mean this guide will help travellers and business people alike navigate this incredibly warm but sometimes complex culture, helping pave the way for greater understanding and ultimately more rewarding experiences in this beautiful land. Culture Smart guides help travellers have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
