Review "Does an excellent job of introducing the kinds of knowledge and awareness essential to successful intercultural technical communication. By organizing information in different related sections, the editors create a more holistic perspective of how different concepts fir into the vast mosaic of culture and communication. Moreover, by organizing the essays in this fashion, the editors provide various reading audiences (professional technical communicators, educators, and students) with the kind of information each group needs to better address issues of culture and communication. It is a valuable reference source and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in intercultural communication issues." --Kirk St.Amant, Technical Communication, Vol. 48, No.1 (February 2001) About the Author Peter J.
