 "The Germans are an enigma not only to the rest of the world
but also to themselves." So Greg Nees begins this comprehensive analysis
of German culture as Americans encounter it. It is a culture Americans tend to
see as similar to their own until they experience it in some depth in Germany
or in the company of Germans elsewhere.
"Germany: Unraveling an Enigma is a concise guide for any teacher who
needs a course outline to teach topics in German culture in order to prepare
students for a study abroad program or an internship in Germany."
- Kerstin Somerholter, University of
Texas at Austin, Die Unterrichtspraxis Review |
