Synopsis

This is a guide to understanding some of the major differences between the Americans and the British. The author discusses the thoughts and feelings of people from both nations. Sex, children, property, food, religion, money and medicine all come under scrutiny.

Présentation de l'éditeur

When it comes to understanding the great cultural ocean that divides Brits and Yanks, it's not just our vocabulary but also our attitudes that differ. This irreverent guide surveys a whole gamut of British-American divergences, from sex to food, from pets to religion, from sports to money, and from war to-most divergent of all-humor. Entertaining and invaluable, Brit-Think, Ameri-Think has been updated to reflect changes in political, cultural, and social trends, and includes new chapters on cultural icons Oprah Winfrey and Bridget Jones, and on Brit-cool vs. Ameri-cool.
