This book is primarily geared towards the business traveler. He has a few chapters on international business tips. He also covers basic etiquette in Europe and some South American countries. And he has lots of anecdotes. He also includes a bibliography and recommended websites.
This book was not as fun to read as Do's and Taboos Around the World but I would recommend reading anything by him.

A great text on behaviors, attitudes, and conduct appropriate for global travel! This book was a required text for my graduate course in global competencies at Nazareth College of Rochester.
