Review
Comprehensive in its detail and attentive to the swirls of current events and attitudes, Living in the U.S.A. makes U.S. practices, habits and lifestyles understandable and navigable, even when uncomfortable for today’s newcomers. It is local knowledge at its most digestible. (Dr. George F. Simons, George Simons International)
From the Publisher
Most popular guide to living in the U.S. , updated
Now in its fifth edition, this book offers practical, "how-to" advice on settling in and finding one's way about in the United States, along with interpretations of American lifestyles that help make the foreigner's first encounters easier and more comprehensible.
"Living in the U.S.A." is widely used in ESL classrooms and by corporations, as well as by international organizations and other governmental and nongovernmental agencies. Sprinkled with American idioms, this book is a delightful way to both teach American English and orient the newcomer to life in the U.S.
From Terrence P. Hannigan in the International Journal of Intercultural Relations: "...a fine guide for someone contemplating a visit to the U.S.A. or for someone who has recently arrived."
