Watching the English: The International Bestseller Revised and Updated | |
In this completely revised and updated edition of international bestseller WATCHING THE ENGLISH, anthropologist Kate Fox takes a revealing look at the quirks, habits and foibles of the English people.
Now with new survey data to add weight to her original fieldwork findings, and more extensive field-research and experiments to back up earlier observations, Kate Fox has deciphered yet more enigmatic behaviour codes, adding new rules, new subcultures, new chapters and over 100 updates. If you're English, this new edition of Kate Fox's acclaimed international bestseller will make you stand back and re-examine everything you take for granted - and if you aren't English you'll finally understand all our peculiar little ways.
WATCHING THE ENGLISH has sold more than half a million copies and has been translated into many languages. Not only a worldwide bestseller, but also a set text for university anthropology courses, WATCHING THE ENGLISH has been widely praised as a revealing and entertaining dissection of the English national character.
媒体推荐Kate Fox's brilliant idea is to treat the British as another tribe...where she's particularly astute is in examining the exact pattern of clichés. Any study of the English must cover our class obsession, and Fox deals with the subject thoroughly. (Harry Mount, author of How England Made the English)

网友对Watching the English: The International Bestseller Revised and Updated的评论
这本书其实不用评价的。要想真的了解英国人，特别是英格兰人，看这本书就对了。旅游的人看看风景，看看街道，购物等都是浮光掠影。是不能谈英国如何如何的。。。。早年从英国带回来的一本不知去哪里了。在亚马逊上又买了一本。后来又买了本小开本的。小开本的后来也送人了。在香港机场看到了这本书的平装本，但价格太高，还是会来买吧。预定了一本，但到即刻还是毫无音讯。130的价格还能接受。不能接受的是，本书的作者居然是位大美女！！！！希望封皮的照片不是她年轻的时候。还有就是书有个地方破掉了。希望中国大陆的亚马逊人能够对书本这个独特的商品上点心。多数人买书是要留存收藏的，不希望书本破相。。。。。。
Funny British people.
The author is undoubtedly a British expert, portraying the society like a CT test! Ideal for both cultural lovers and international students!
书的内容很好，很喜欢。只是图书有破损，虽不影响阅读，购物体验打了折扣。退换来回挺折腾的，希望卖家今后能多注意。
