Foreign to Familiar

A Guide to Understanding Hot- and Cold-Climate Cultures

By Sarah Lanier

Author Sarah Lanier explains how cultures around the world can fit into two basic categories and how these categories differ. Whether you are a missionary, a diplomat, a cross-cultural worker or simply live in a cross-cultural neighborhood, you’ll find this book to be a valuable resource for understanding and relating to others from a different “climate.”
