Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. [viii], 181, [2] p. Turkish culture for Americans. This book is a must for anyone wanting to succeed in doing business or interacting with Turks. The centerpiece of the book is the presentation of a framework of comparisons of commonly-held American and Turkish values. To illustrate these underlying cultural differences, as well as important legal considerations, the authors have crafted a series of interesting, true-to-life, often humorous, cultural episodes which illustrate some of the common difficulties and misunderstandings that Americans encounter in dealing with their Turkish counterparts. The book also includes concise factual information about Turkey--its geography, history, economy, government, religion and holidays, as well as a primer of frequently used Turkish words and phrases.
