OUT OF THE PAN AND INTO THE FIRE

Sometimes going home can be harder than you’d ever dreamed. Here are a few book reviews taken from the Integrated Resources Group to help you on your journey.

"In The Art of Coming Home, Storti teaches expatriates how reentry troubles can be eased and in some cases surmounted.... This book is a necessary addition to the sparse and inaccessible body of literature on cross- cultural repatriation." -- Elissa Tucker, International Orientation Resources

 The Art of Coming Home (1997) 216 pages, index, ISBN 1-877864-47-1 (trade) may be ordered through the publisher, Intercultural Press

 The second of Dr. Austin's valuable contributions to this growing field of study, his is the first comprehensive book of readings in the English language on the reentry challenges of all sponsorship groups: corporations, as well as churches, federally employed civilians, international education, and the military. It includes 25 articles by 29 different authors; seven appendices highlighting an inventory of reentry problems; practical relocation information; how to design your own reentry program; exercises and discussion topics for reentry programs and suggestions made by third culture children relative to reentry.
