This guide covers all of Germany in detail, from Berlin to Dresden, the Black Forest to Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Bavaria. How to get special discounts (some 20 for train and bus travel alone), with tips for saving on gas, on hotels, on museums – insights only an insider would know. The best shopping, the foods and wines – what to look for and where to find it. All the places to stay described in detail, from guesthouses and hostels to the most luxurious hotels. Germany has the world’s largest Gothic church at Cologne and more medieval castles than any country in the world. Hundreds of small towns are barely changed from the Middle Ages. The author guides us through all of the best castles, churches, museums and other historic sites. Rhine cruises, wine tours, concerts, theater, town and country walks, canoeing and kayaking, cycling – it’s all here.
Education and the Law examines the way legislation affects education and educational training both directly and tangentially, and how the law, through its influence on such things as participation rates, certification and employer involvement, can affect the level and degree of economic activity. Contributors examine the education systems of the US, Kenya, Japan, Germany, Nigeria, Britain and France to illustrate the interdependence of the elements involved.
"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."
