Description
Culture Smart! Kenya provides a cultural bridge that will carry you beyond the gloss of the hotels and deep into the warp and weft of everyday life; beyond the game parks and into the intricacies of community and wildlife coexistence; beyond the bounds of tourism and into the freedom of cultural understanding and exchange.
A true "insider's take," gleaned over years of living and working in the country, it delivers key insights into the forces, ancient and modern, that have shaped Kenya—and practical guidance on how best to enter into the modern Kenyan business and social environment.
Due to its high-action pursuits, cultural treasures, wealth of wildlife, and glorious beach life, Kenya is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations and the unrivalled "safari capital of the world." As to its people, Kenya is a cultural microcosm comprising more than seventy ethnic groups, each with its own distinctive cultural identity. All extend the warmth of welcome that has proved to be Kenya's most valuable asset to tourism.

Argentina - Culture Smart!
The second-largest country in South America, Argentina has been through great changes in recent years. Its journey from dictatorship to democracy has left many scars, but these are largely eclipsed by the pride and resilience of the Argentinian people, who have developed a style, a language, and a joie de vivre that are all their own. Embracing much more than...Paperback$2999Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
France - Culture Smart!
The French are different. You'll often hear this in conversations among the "Anglo-Saxons," as the French like to call English-speakers. Different means charming, challenging, questioning, stylish, and doing things in their own way and to their own advantage. By looking at the attitudes and values of the French, and explaining how French life and business works, Culture Smart! France shows...Paperback$5000Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -

Egypt - Culture Smart!
Don't just see the sights—get to know the people. At first sight, modern-day Egypt is an unruly and chaotic place: a cacophony of sounds, an overload of smells, and a swirling visual feast. Ancient church domes and medieval minarets share the same space with fast-food chains and chic air-conditioned cafes. Egyptian society has undergone dramatic changes in recent years, yet...Paperback$2999Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Azerbaijan - Culture Smart!
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 colourful history of over...Paperback$2299Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Japan - Culture Smart!
The Japanese people have always seen themselves as a nation uniquely apart. Their exquisite art forms, elegant culture, military prowess, and technological precision have long been the envy of friend and foe alike. Today, even as Japan adapts to a rapidly changing world, its traditional culture and consensus-based philosophy have proved remarkably resilient. Culture Smart! Japan will broaden your perception...Paperback$2499Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -

Australia - Culture Smart! offers an engaging insight into a unique and vast island-continent.

Belgium - Culture Smart!
Don't just see the sights—get to know the people. Belgium has somehow acquired the reputation of being Europe's most boring country—a reputation that is entirely undeserved. But perhaps this bland image is a smokescreen, the conventional exterior hiding a subversive sense of humour, a surreal imagination, and a deep-rooted disdain for authority. Or perhaps it is a camouflage, a way...Paperback$2799Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Germany - Culture Smart!
Germany - Culture Smart! by Barry Tomalin explores Germany, the powerhouse of Europe and a pillar of the Eurozone, which feels reassuringly familiar. However, despite superficial appearances, this is a country that operates very differently from the USA and Britain.
