Yang Liu East Meets West /ANGLAIS/ALLEMAND/CHINOIS

The author, who is a designer and connoisseur of German and Chinese culture has distilled her insights into the cultural differences into a series of poignant and funny pictogram-comparisons, bound together in a nicely crafted hardcover book. It makes a great present for anybody, who is living between Asia and Western Europe (although technically most applicable to China - Germany).

Brilliant book showing the cultural differences between East and West. Another example of an image saying 1000 words!

This is the no reading book to let you into another work of thinking. Managers, teachers, everyone really should at least borrow a copy. No words needed.

in German, but doesn't matter because the pictures are where the meaning lies. great gift for people curious about cultural differences - or experiencing them.

Glowing reviews from here and on HackerNews so I got it.Pros: Diagrams are sometimes clever. Physically high quality (so it won't fall apart in a hurry - you listening, O'Reilly?).Cons: Some diagrams could be better expressed with words. Some just puzzle me. But, above all there's almost nothing there.

I like the book very much except it's quite small.

wonderful book

Lovely and simple book.
