Turkey - Culture Smart! - The...
Charlotte McPherson
Don't just see the sights— get to know the people. At first glance, Turkey may seem Westernized and entirely "modern"— but appearances can be misleading. It is above all a land of contrasts, a heady mixture of Oriental etiquette and ultramodern city life, deep–rooted religious faith and determined secularism, a fierce sense of national pride, and openness to foreign ideas. The Turkish people are very much their own center of gravity, and for the unwary visitor there are pitfalls to avoid as well as great riches to be found. Culture Smart! Turkey is an invaluable guide to the intricate ins and outs of this culturally rich and complex society. This updated edition outlines the complex history of Anatolia, provides key insights into contemporary Turkish values and attitudes, describes important customs and traditions, and reveals what life is like for the Turks at home, at work, and at play. It also offers practical tips and information about what to expect and how to navigate different social situations. In this unique mix of Islamic and European cultures, the Turks are extremely hospitable. If you show an interest in their culture and respect for their point of view, they will repay your effort many times over. Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

One Dog at a time
Pen Farthing
One Dog at a TimeBy Pen Farthing · Narrated by Kerry Hutchinson - with an introduction read by the author. 'Thick with rolls of gleaming, new wire, the obstacle was designed to prevent a suicide bomber driving into the compound’s thick mud walls. Today, however, it had only succeeded in stopping a small, white, terrified-looking dog. I knew that the Taliban could be hiding in any one of these buildings just waiting for one of us. But I knew I couldn’t just walk away.'

He begins hatching plans to help them escape to a better life.One Dog at a Time is the bestselling, unforgettably moving true story that launched a global animal rescue movement.
