From social networking to social graces, the name Emily Post has been the definitive source on etiquette for generations of Americans. That tradition continues with the 18^th edition of Etiquette, which welcomes a new generation of Posts–the great grandchildren of Emily Posts. Led by Peggy Post, author of the 16^th and 17^th editions of Etiquette, this team shows how twenty-first-century manners are a combination of kindness, confidence, and awareness. This book includes advice on names and titles, dress codes, invitations, table manners, work place frustrations, and weddings. According to the Posts, though time have changed, the principles of good manners remain constant. Above all, manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. Being considerate, respectful, and honest is more important than knowing which fork to use. Whether it’s a handshake or a first bump, it’s the underlying sincerity and good intentions of the action that matter most.
