Latvia Matters: the Adventures of a Large Man Who Stumbled Around in a Small Country Dr. Dale B. Sims

Latvia Matters: The Adventures of a Large Man Who Stumbled Around in a Small Country When Dale Sims received a Fulbright Scholarship to teach in the small country of Latvia he left everything familiar and comfortable behind. His determination to do a good job of representing the United States of America presented a number of challenges, not the least of which were his own pre-conceived notions of other countries and cultures. Dr. Sims uses stories about his adventures to show the patience, concern, and good common sense that the Latvians expressed toward him. As you read about the Latvians you will be transported to their country and you will wish that you could visit their land with Dr. Sims as a guide.
