(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Understanding Intercultural Communicatio
by
Stella Ting Toomey
blossom
, November 09, 2013
If you are only going to purchase one book on intercultural communication, this is THE one to buy! Ting-Toomey and Chung take complex theory and research and translate it into user-friendly concepts. They provide a wide array of exercises for self-reflection, which are informative and engaging. The book is full of examples from pop culture of the impact and influence of culture. This book is designed to enhance daily interactions across cultures for everyone, and the guidance is immediately applicable whether one is living at home or abroad.

Good American
by
Alex George
blossom
, August 29, 2012
Reading “A Good American” is like sitting down for a long late afternoon conversation with your favorite uncle. All the family secrets you didn’t know are shared, not at once, sometimes meandering, but always revealing. The author, Alex George, traces one family as they emigrate to the U.S. from Germany in 1904, and in their rush to leave, decide New Orleans must not be that different from New York as a destination. The story is ultimately set in Missouri, in the middle of America. Although a subtle character, Missouri does indeed play a cultural role in shaping the family, as the story moves through the generations. Be prepared for some interesting plots twists, scenes of violence and great sorrow, and an encompassing embrace of U.S. culture in its highs and lows…and don’t be surprised if you lose a few nights sleep staying up to finish this novel.

Another Country: Navigating the Emotional Terrain of Our Elders
by
Mary Pipher
blossom
, August 11, 2012
This is an absolutely amazing book about the culture of aging in the U.S. Pipher writes in an empathetic manner, yet does not shy away from the difficult aspects. I've read this book five times so far.
