From the Publisher
Reader comments:
"This is my third most important book: first is The Bible, second is my Russian-English dictionary, and third, this book. -- Irina Teygart, a refugee from former Soviet Union, Pennsylvania
"You give courage, knowledge and above all, hope." -- Nicholas Caldis, Athens, Greece
"An informative and straightforward presentation of life and cultural issues that confront newcomers in this strange new land called America. Full of useful advice and helpful resources on a wide range of important topics." -- Jim Kuh, Migration and Refugee Services, U.S. Catholic Conference
"Even though this book deals with the practical topics for the newcomers to the States, their contents refer to anybody whose intention is to be useful to our society." -- Michael Svonavec, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Purdue University
"A practical and useful resource for all New Americans." -- Constance A. Morella, Member of Congress, Maryland
"Ms. Mikatavage recognizes the admirable qualities which characterize the immigrant spirit. This book provides signposts along the road to successful adjustment and promotes self-confidence." -- Patricia A. Hatch, Community Liaison, Maryland Office for New Americans
"The one book to read if you want to succeed FASTER in the United States." --Wolf J. Rinke, Ph.D., author of 12 books, including Make It a Winning Life: Success Strategies for Life, Love and Business
"Well organized, frank, direct, as only immigrant to immigrant can be. This book shows incredibly hard work, painstaking research; I'd recommend it as a resource for all teachers of newcomers. I loved every page." -- Elizabeth Claire, Editor of Easy English NEWS and author of 20 books
"The text addresses a number of topics of importance to immigrants and refugees attempting to adjust to life in the United States. Designed for an adult audience, the text offers insights into and explanations for many of the cultural differences." -- James Estes, National Clearinghouse for Bilingual Education (NCBE)
"The book covers a comprehensive set of issues, including some, such as homeownership, that are not generally dealt with in orientation materials. The book should be useful not only for new immigrants but also for those who have been in the country for some time." -- Susan Forbes Martin, Ph.D., Institute for the Study of International Migration, Georgetown University
"Offers immigrants advice and information for becoming successful in the United States. Illuminating on such topics as obtaining bilingual assistance by telephone or purchasing affordable prescription drugs. The wide range of topics and references can be a jumping off place for class projects or individual pursuits." -- TESOL Journal, Association of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages
"I'm sure that for most immigrants, this kind of advice is crucial to their daily lives." -- Noah M.J. Pickus, Ph.D., Sanford Institute of Public Policy, Duke University
