Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-27 00:00:00 James Kennedy I've always found Hall's books to be interesting and relevant to my life from business to spirituality and this book has lived up to that same expectation. In this book Hall, discusses inter-cultural communication patterns and raises up concerns about the tendency to focus toward using external resources as opposed to examining and utilizing internal, behavior skills. I find this relevant in an age where more than ever the focus is on using technology to communicate, with all the inherent problems that brings, especially when relying on text only to interact. This is a useful book for exploring cross cultural communication and examining the increasing role of technology in communication.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-06-30 00:00:00 Thomas Kunz Fascinating. I read this in grad school and actually kept my copy so I could re-read it, which I'm finally doing. I did remember that the first time I read it, I kept being thrown by his constant referral to "man" when he means "people." It's jarring enough that I finally understood all the fuss about "he/she." And I think some of his theories would now be considered naive or overly generalized, but they are thought-provoking nonetheless.
