The little giant encyclopedia of etiquette - Michael Macfarlane

Lots of manuals tell you what?s currently socially acceptable behaviour, but now you can get a truly encyclopaedic view of etiquette that explains the historical reasons for a particular faux pas, as well as the differences in etiquette from one culture to another. You?ll find essential information, whether you?re dating someone from another social background, or whether your life put you in contact with people from other cultures. Every social situation is covered, from formal dinners to intimate settings, and from weddings and funerals to successful business etiquette. You also learn to cope fast with fast changing new rules for the internet, mobile phones, pagers, and other creations of technological revolution.
