Comments on the content:

The Title announces, that the book consists of topics on Intercultural communication.

The Book overview affirms that "This multinational team of authors has, on the other hand, put together an introduction to communicating across cultures that draws on examples and case studies from across the world, using no single culture as its frame of reference. Structured around the links between theory and practice and between the global and the local, the discussion covers the key theories and their practical applications, as well as new topics often neglected in textbooks, such as international conflict, social networking, migrancy, and the effect that technology and mass media play in the globalization of communication. This book will not merely get you through your intercultural communication course, but teach you to become a more critical consumer of information and understand the influence of your own culture on how you view yourself and others."

Unfortunately there is not available preview of the book and we cannot look at the Table of contents, but the book overview gives quite exhaustive view about the main themes of the book.

The title and the book overview confirm that this book could be useful as a material for the topic Intercultural communication.
