Summary: Moving Abroad.... That's a horse of a different color.
Review: So you got that dream job.... London, Tokyo, New Delhi, Pretoria? When you get there, you discover that you're "Not in Kansas any more." Trust me, I have done it five times, a move abroad is not like moving across the state or across the country. Suddenly you are far fom home, far from the people and things you know and love, and everything seems to work just a little bit differently. And if you think it is bad for you, just ask your spouse and kids.... Nevermind, Linderman and Hess do a great job of helping you with all the concerns that you might have in your move. This book sets forth the good, the bad, the ugly, and the funny in an international move. Even if you are lucky enough to have a corporate move-planner to assist you, this book is a gem to help you get ready psychologically for the move and what comes afterwards.

Summary: Essential Information
Review: This book is full of essential advice for any American who is going to be spending several months or several years in another country. It even has a chapter on the challenges of adjusting to life back in the U.S.A. after you've been away a long time, something most people don't think about in advance. It seems very well organized to me, and I love the little boxes with personal examples of the authors' experiences - reading them, you know the authors write from first-hand knowlege of the challenges of life overseas. I highly recommend it to anyone contemplating such a move.
