Book Description
A unbelievably, ridiculously, painfully, delightfully true sailing, land and love adventure in Mexico. Imagine Jimmy Buffett as the first mate, Dr. Wayne Dyer as the cook, Ernest Hemingway the helmsman and Jack London as the navigator and you get a pretty good idea about the crew in the author's head who helped shape this adventure. And they all get their share of the story. David owned and operated a real estate brokerage for many years in Northern California. Learning to sail on San Francisco Bay and visiting Mexico he soon discovered it was a combination he could not resist. During a visit to Mazatlan he determined he would chuck his brokerage life in California, bring a sail boat to that beach town and try his hand at the charter business. Sacrificing home and hearth and "security" at the altar of a mid-life Mexican dream cost him his business and marriage. Undeterred, he found a vintage ketch, made it ready for the ocean, and cast off. Come join the odyssey of sailing to Mazatlan -- dealing with Mexican "partners" negotiating tourist ladies, expats, the federales (almost being thrown into a Mexican jail), laughter, lust, love and the adventure of a lifetime.

Book Description
Understand why good neighbors are separated by the meaning of yes Whether negotiating a delivery date, launching a local franchise or renting a car in Mexico City, speaking the language and knowing the rules of business are not enough.

Mexicans and Americans gets to the heart of our differences and lays the groundwork for cultural fluency. Here is a humorous and insightful firthand look at how to succeed in working with Mexicans - on either side of the border. Steeped in the richness of Mexican culture and history, Ned Crouch helps us understand the most critical elements that determine what works and what doesn't when Mexicans and Americans come together in business: our different views of time and space, and our construction and use of language. He debunks the manana stereotype and offers specific advice on how to cross the cultural divide that separates us.

Book Description
This book is for anyone who enjoys fresh and unconventional observations. If you speak Spanish, or are learning Spanish, you’ll probably get even more out of this book. But really, you don’t have to speak Spanish or be a language enthusiast to be able to appreciate the, dare I say, genius of this book (I dared). Based on the experiences of an American military brat, who lived in Europe for 10 years (three of them in Spain), and decided to write about his experiences, this book is funny, insightful, and a leisurely read. You’ll accidentally learn something as well. I promise. You won’t find a story, but rather a compilation of (clever) observations about the Spanish language and culture. You will get to see the world as I see it - with wonder, amusement, and sporadic mixes of ingenuity and ridiculousness.

Book Description
An essential aspect of getting to the point of being fully empowered, fully armed lies in taking on the responsibility for your own lives, kids. Mark Twain had one take on that when he wrote, “Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.” My father’s take was that I could be anything I wanted to be . . . so long as I wasn’t afraid to work my butt off for it. As anyone familiar with George Bernard Shaw might expect, the magnificent British dramatist had a still pithier viewpoint on the subject: “I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” Whew! Talk about your self-starters. But there is an essential truth embedded and embodied by that admonition: If you create your own life, you own it. You choose whether it is to be forceful and commanding or fearful and cowering. Please, you two, opt for the former over the latter. It’s a lot more rewarding.

.".. Gil couldn't find Guatemala on a map when committing to the adoption of his daughter. He didn't know anything about starting an international adoption. He didn't know anyone who had adopted internationally. He did have a goal of adopting a child from outside the United States. It wasn't inspired by a mission trip or another experience; it was something he wanted to accomplish. His wife didn't share in the goal nor did many of his friends; however, God turned his goal into a calling - through a nocturnal dream - when his daughter yelled from a mountaintop, 'Daddy, come and get me' "--Back cover.

Cultural Anthropology & Human Experience is suitable for use in Cultural and Social Anthropology courses, and its twelve chapters easily fit into quarter or semester terms, while leaving room for additional readings, discussions, or other projects. All the standard topics are covered, but with less emphasis on method and theory and more coverage of a variety of industrial and postindustrial societies. Auxiliary materialsbells and whistleshave been kept to a minimum to reduce distractions and maintain a reasonable price to students. The author has chosen all the photographs with great care to illustrate or amplify important points. The Instructors Manual includes summaries of each chapter, student exercises, and a test bank. Dettwylers upbeat tone inspires students to: develop the ability to think logically, objectively, and critically about different cultural beliefs, practices, and social structures; understand that humans are primates with culture, with a complex overlay of environmental and cultural influences; appreciate how powerful cultural beliefs and practices can be in shaping human perceptions of the world; realize that culture is not the same thing as social constructions of race, ethnic identity, or place of geographic origin; understand why/how cultural practices make sense within the cultures that practice them; articulate how an anthropological perspective helps discern everyday situations and interactions at the local, national, and international levels; understand that anthropology is not just an academic disciplineit is a way of looking at and understanding the world; appreciate the ways cultural beliefs and practices, social structures, and human lifestyles contribute to a meaningful life.
