Thought-provoking treatment from a sociological perspective

Thought-provoking treatment of aspects of living and working abroad from a sociological perspective. Very descriptive of styles of expatriate living with a focus on the success of those who treat the experience as an adventure in another culture rather than isolating themselves from the country's culture in an expatriate community. I'd recommend this for anyone evaluating his or her own suitability for living and working abroad.
