Monica Larner, Travis Neighbor Ward

Holt Paperbacks, 1998

Very thorough and helpful
This book is great because it gives you things from an American perspective. I've lived in Italy before on a study abroad program, so I was familiar with some things, but the lists of contact information alone are enough reason to buy this book. It covers everything from student visas to getting dual citizenship and from teaching ESL to starting your own business. A must read for anyone ...

Excellent resource
I first came across Martha Hickman's Healing After Loss after my late husband died.It was one of the most helpful things I read at that time.

I'm Here, Now What?! An Artist's Survival Guide for NYC!6 reviews
Amy Harrell

BookSurge Publishing, 2006

THE New York City Handbook!!!!!!
Most people come to New York like it's the Emerald City, where all your dreams can come true. While that may be true and there are a tremendous amount of opportunities here in this vast jungle; New York does not come with an owners manual. Sure there are are lots of books telling you where to eat, shop, site see, and catch a show, but for a newcomer to this city, especially an artist you'd be ... 		  
  







  
  
Culture Shock! Egypt: A Guide to Customs and Etiquette (Culture Shock!)6 reviews
Susan Wilson

Kuperard, 2000

superb resource for the traveler
Wilson's book provided me with the "cultural common sense" that made for a successful stay in Egypt in June 2000. Her chatty tone invited me, as a reader, into her own experiences living in Egypt and set a context for me to be open to the warmth of the Egyptians as well as to be prepared for the very real challenges of travel here. While other books provided guidance to the sights, Wilson's ...

Laughing Sickness: A Medical Mystery5 reviews
Anne Black Gray

Bridgeway Books, 2007

Very Well Written! Interesting!
I believe that many of us at different times have weird things going on in our bodies that we don't understand. Thankfully, these usually pass, and we go about our merry way. But what happens when they don't? What happens when the doctors that we turn to for help, don't give it? I can only imagine the panic and fear that must occur in such a situation. In this outstanding novel by ... 		  
  







  
  
Culture Shock! Chile: A Guide to Customs and Etiquette (Culture Shock!)5 reviews
I. Camacho, S. Roraff

Kuperard, 2000

An accurate and entertaining view of the Chilean "lifestyle"
I was very lucky to have the opportunity to read this book. Being a Chilean myself, it was very interesting to learn about the way foreigners see us, particularly after living in the US for a couple of years. It is impressive how accurate the facts are, and the way they are presented is quite entertaining. I was very surprised to know that the authors were not native Chilean. My American ... 		  
  







  
  
Rules, Britannia: An Insider's Guide to Life in the United Kingdom6 reviews
Toni Summers Hargis

Thomas Dunne Books, 2006

Toni Hargis for Ambassador!
Whilst scanning my local bookstore's shelves for a quick read I came across "Rules, Britannia" by Toni Summers Hargis. After finishing it (in one sitting) I know not to say "it was 'quite' good", for that would indicate something less than extreme pleasure on my part. "Rules, Britannia" is VERY good, informative and funny and while our language differences deserve credit for the book's ...

Although not every exchange student may experience the stages in ... 		  
  







  
  
Buying a House in Italy (Buying a House - Vacation Work Pub)5 reviews
Gordon Neale

Vacation Work Publications, 2003

IF ONLY
We bought a house in Cortona Italy 12 years ago only after a long hard search. IF ONLY we had Gordon Neale's book with us on that first trip hunting for the perfect house. His detailed knowledge of the intracacies of house buying law in Italy is infinite and we would have had fewer grey hairs if this book was available then . Apart from that it is a wonderful guide from a very sympathetic ...
