There is a book I recently read which has some anecdotes about the effects
of cultural differences. I don't know if that's useful to you or not -
it's a rather smallish book, but isn't in front of me or I'd give a better
reference. Anyway, I found the following information on www.amazon.com
about it which should make it easy for you to find or order:
