"Professor david devonis has given a great resource to all of us who care about culture and psychology. The incredible diversity of topics and approaches he includes embodies the very richness we hope for when we study culture. I love how he thinks outside the box of conventionality in pedagogy and psychology. But that is what an immersion in culture does-it opens us up to see our world and ourselves in ways we could not have anticipated." - Wade pickren, ithaca college, usa "this highly readable, creative, and well-researched compendium offers activities covering a broad range of cultural phenomena. It is useful not only for instructors of cross-cultural psychology, but for a myriad of other classes as well, such as introductory psychology, social psychology, gender studies, psycho-linguistics, and environmental psychology." - Susan koger, willamette university, usa
