Carl Hiaasen - Skinny Dip

Carl Hiaasen - Skinny DipChaz Perrone should have had it all. He had a beautiful and rich wife, a doctorate in marine biology, a cushy job with the state, a lucrative scam with an agribusiness where he falsified water quality reports from the Everglades, several girlfriends, and a brand new Humvee. Unfortunately, Chaz was greedy, lazy, self-centered, adulterous, and lacking in both ethics and backbone. When he became nervous that his wife, Joey, had found about his scam, he took her on a cruise to celebrate their second anniversary and then tossed her overboard in the middle of night. He might have gotten away with it too, if she hadn't survived.

The articles contained in this volume give a good overview about the main questions in the field of cross-cultural communication as well as language and culture. Particularly interesting is Platt's article about different communicative strategies in English-speaking Asian speech communities and Verschueren's paper about English as an object and medium of misunderstanding.
