Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As William Gay, distinguished adviser to the last edition, so aptly notes, the United States is 'a country that is never what you think it is.' Since that edition was introduced nearly ten years ago, the country has been struggling with troubling, divisive events and issues, especially the September 11, 2001, attacks and the resulting War on Terror. Despite these extraordinary times, the United States still holds promise and opportunity for those who take the time to understand it. Jef Davis, a seasoned interculturalist and long-time adviser to international travelers, had succeeded as few could in creating an important new version of Living in the U.S.A. that will guide you through the confusing, conflicted, exciting country and its diverse population at an extraordinary time in history. New material and significantly revised chapters help you understand: American Cultures, such as sections on African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native peoples, retirees, gays and lesbians and the disables, underscoring the incredible diversity of culture and values that comprise the American population; Twenty-First Century Issues, for example the continued rise in religious fundamentalism in the U.S. and abroad and the tension between security and personal liberties; Getting Here and Getting Settled, including security at the airport and elsewhere and new and trying immigration regulations. Short-term visitors to the U.S. will find advice for surviving customs and immigration, finding as apartment, doing business, obtaining health care, and navigating the supermarket, bank, and post office. If you plan to stay longer, you will find practical pointers for getting along at work, school, and at home; buying a house; making and keeping American friends; and understanding dominant American values in a diverse and complex society.Living in the U.S.A. is a comprehensive guide to 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. (9), 118pp illustrated with b/w map and Saudi flag. Covers good or better with some dusting. Interiors mostly very good except for ink scribbles to the title and Preface, some red ink underlines on pages towards the end, and annotations p118. 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.
