International Guide to Forms of Address by Tl Shanson

Foreign names are often a trap for the unwary English-speaker. In Japan, for example, surnames come before "first" names. This guide to names and forms of address abroad would be particularly helpful for anyone with business contacts abroad. In nearly 200 entries, covering all the world's major countries, this work gives advice on thousands of difficult areas, including: how to make sense of the long name strings used in the Arab world; which way round Japanese and Chinese names go; what a Russian patronymic is and when to use it; whom you call "signore" and whom "dottore" in Italy; and how to address a Korean company president.
