"During his eight years abroad, Glenn Dodge worked alongside expats and local community members on a number of programs and projects in multiple countries. Capturing the spirit of this work, as well as the many misadventures he had along the way, his A Canuck Amuck blog provided readers with a sense of what it meant to be someone learning an entirely new way of life. These stories are collected here for the first time: they stand as a record, not only of the differences that exist among those in other countries, but also the underlying human qualities that make us the same."-- Back cover.
