These guides provide practical advice on how to make the most of one's time abroad, and are particularly valuable for travelers to Poland, a country in transition from its Communist past. Poland's history, people, and culture are intertwined, and it is essential to have a background knowledge of the land, people, and history to understand who the Poles are today. A chapter on values and attitudes provides essential insights into this relationship-based society, and will help visitors understand why things are done the way they are. Further chapters describe important festivals and rites of passage, as well as how Poles go about their daily social and work lives. Valuable advice is also offered on how to get along with them. The Polish people are warm and generous and place great value on personal relationships. Show an interest in their history and an awareness of their culture, and your welcome will be warmer still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 205g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 170 x 110 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781787023307\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Revised ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gregory Allen,Magdalena Lipska","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44550123553018,"sku":"9781787023307","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1694180081420_book.jpg?v=1694255981","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/poland-culture-smart-the-essential-guide-to-customs-culture-9781787023307","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
