A Fair Go for All : Australian/American Interactions (Interact Series). This book has received great reviews by both Americans and Australians. It describes the similarities and differences between Australians and Americans.
Culture Shock : Australia. " In addition to explaining Australia to newcomers and visitors in the hope of bridging culture gaps and improving the chances of mutual empathy and friendship, it is the author's wish that Australians will, through this book, see themselves through outsiders' eyes." -- Amazon.com Editorial Review.
Culture Shock!: USA. "...Whether you plan to stay for a week or for a year, you'll benefit from such topics as understanding the rules of driving and monetary systems, religious practices and making friends. There are tips on political traditions, building business relationships, and the particular intricacies of setting up a home or office. Great for the business traveler, the foreign exchange student, or the tourist who makes a sincere attempt to cross the bridge into a new and exciting culture." -- Amazon.com Editorial Review.
Living and Working in Australia : A Survival Handbook (Living and Working Guides). "Having read a number of publications of similar approach I must admit this one's outstanding. The information provided is not only considering almost every single aspect of living in Oz, but most important: it's (imho) spot-on and even pretty much up-to-date. David's writing is fun and easy to read and I would recommend this book to everyone on the move down under." -- Amazon.com Customer Review (January 22, 2000).
Living and Working in America : A Survival Handbook (Living and Working Guides) "A really useful, practical guide giving realistic and balanced views of what to expect from the States. Invaluable for those with no previous knowledge on which to base important decisions." -- Amazon.com Customer (from UK) Review (November 29, 1999).
