Bag om Human Encounters

This book gives a comprehensive introduction to intercultural communication in the era of globalization.

The author discusses subjects such as handling encounters with people using foreign languages; incorporating different life styles and world views; the use of interpreters; non-familiar body language; different understandings of time; relocation in new settings; the use of power and how to deal with cultural conflicts generally.
