Culture Shock! USA (Culture Shock Guides)

Rating:
Summary: Great, detailed and funny look at customs and differences
Review: This really is excellent. A little dated in some of the pictures but this adds to the humour (humor). I read this on the plane on the way over and it gave great insight and lots to talk about.

Rating:
Summary: Funny, and a useful for foreigners
Review: Unlike the previous criticism from New Hampshire, this book is more a view how other cultures must see us. It is important to remember, though, that the U.S. has no one dominant culture, and that cultures and political opinion vary by state and are based on the particular region's unique history. Although I live 35 miles from the New Hampshire border, I wholeheartedly agree with the view that the gun-toting, my-right-to-bear-arms mentality, has contributed to the demise of civil society and increase in violence across the U.S.
