Softcover. Zustand: Fair. Verschmutzung / Wasserschaden; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. As William Gay noted, the United States is "a country that is never what you think it is." Since the last edition, the nation has faced significant challenges, particularly following the September 11 attacks and the War on Terror. Yet, the U.S. still offers promise and opportunity for those willing to understand its complexities. Jef Davis, an experienced interculturalist and adviser to international travelers, has crafted a vital new version of Living in the U.S.A. to navigate this diverse and dynamic country during a pivotal time in its history. The updated content includes sections on American cultures, highlighting the rich diversity among African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native peoples, retirees, LGBTQ+ communities, and individuals with disabilities. It addresses twenty-first-century issues, including the rise of religious fundamentalism and the balance between security and personal liberties. For short-term visitors, the guide offers practical advice on customs, immigration, finding housing, and navigating essential services like healthcare and banking. For those planning a longer stay, it provides insights on workplace and school dynamics, home buying, building friendships, and understanding the values that shape American society. This comprehensive guide covers attitudes, customs, manners, and daily life in the United States.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 2nd Edition. Second edition revised February 1976 (this was first published in 1975). Comb-bound yellow wraps with titles and Saudi emblem to the front, 23x28cm.

Alison Raymond Lanier (1917-93) wrote several books, among them the "Update" series, explaining foreign cultures to US managers and staff going to live abroad, and the US to foreigners. Most were issued by her own company, Overseas Briefing Associates, which she had formed in 1967 to hold seminars for corporations and organisations looking to engage overseas. As reflected here, she addressed the difficulties facing women who were then experiencing greater opportunity to live or work abroad (Ref. New York Times, 10 Aug 1993). Her Saudi Update was prepared for the engineering firm Parsons, and was accompanied by a separately issued Assignment Book that contained details about the job, and the company itself (Preface). Parsons began operating in Saudi Arabia in the 1950s, with Dhahran Airport terminal its first project, since then delivering on major infrastructure, industrial and defence projects. Chapters cover Background, Doing business with Saudis, On arrival, Language, Customs and courtesies, Household, Children and schools, Health and medical care, Leisure activities, Major places of interest. There is valuable cultural insight throughout on Saudi people, Islam, courtesy, baksheesh, the Arab boycott, warnings (alcohol, narcotics, Saudi justice etc), public transport, dress, a "Divine" language, social attitudes and approaches, social contacts, meeting Arab women, bargaining, advice from US wives (on not being allowed to drive, Ramadan, implications of sandstorms on running a house etc). Places of interest include Riyadh, Jeddah, Dhahran, Al Khobar, Dammam, Taif, Hofuf, with a note on Restricted Areas. With a focus on women, some of the content is credited to the American Women's Club of Jiddah. This edition is extremely rare with Worldcat listing it without any holdings (OCLC 10262368). It also records the 1975 and 1979 editions also very rare, and a 1981 edition for Intercultural Press.
