Portland, OR (PRWeb) December 10, 2006 -- East Asian scholars Ju and John Brown compile their lifelong interest in China, Japan, Korea: Culture and Customs. This in-depth reference manual presents these three countries in comparison and relation to each other, addressing politics, economics, and religion. Easily referenced, comprehensive, and unbiased, this guide presents complexities of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean culture and history for both novice and adept students of East Asian culture.

China, Japan, and Korea are first addressed in broad comparison, introducing the history of each country and a timeline of highlights.
