Sounds glamorous—and maybe it is, if you're posted to Paris or Vienna. But what if your company sends you to Santiago, Lisbon, or Montevideo? Many questions arise: Is it safe to go out at night? Do quality schools exist? How polluted is the air? Is public transportation handy? What's the average monthly rent for a decent house? What inoculations should you get before you go? Can you find your favorite brand of toothpaste? The Global Manager's Guide to Living and Working Abroad: Western Europe and the Americas answers these and many other questions expats will have about the cities that companies send employees to most often in the Western Hemisphere.
