Paperback book on Ukraine culture
« on: June 24, 2012, 01:23:11 PM »
I would like to recommend a good book on Ukraine culture.  I just completed reading it.  It is not a book about dating in Ukraine and not a substitute for the excellent e-book on this site.  For those that do not want to spend a week reading a book, this paperback is easy reading and covers a lot about Ukraine not found in the e-book.  It is a little dated, however I believe a new version may have his the shelves in the past week or so.  It is only about $10 on Amazon.  Enjoy!

Title of the book is Ukraine: Culture Smart  by Anna Shevchenko

Doug, that looks good! Thanks for posting the link.

I also recommend from a related series, Cultureshock! Russia: A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette (Cultureshock Russia: A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) by professor Anna Pavlovskaya of Moscow State University. I used this several years ago as a reference to several of the articles in my How Russians Think series and it is excellent.
