Although somewhat of a simplistic analysis, Foreign to Familiar provides a very practical set of questions to ask in any cross-cultural encounter. Distinguishing between hot and cold climate cultures, Lanier offers a key – mapped out through years of cross-cultural experiences – to understanding and navigating a variety of cultural traits: relationship or task oriented; direct or indirect communication; individual or group identity; inclusion or privacy; low and high context cultures. In addition to these, Lanier explores cultural differences in understanding time and hospitality. While clearly not a great anthropological work, it is an immensely useful and approachable book.

(I notice that a lot of tags seem to belong to missionaries but this book has absolutely nothing to do with religion, no mention whatsoever, and everything to do with communication and understanding. So don't let the tags mislead you.) ( )
