Japanese Chin (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) - $7.28A delightful and affectionate toy dog hailing from the Land of the Rising Sun, the Japanese Chin is counted among the world’s most beloved companion dogs, a breed that author Juliette Cunliffe describes as a "happy little character with a down-to-earth, yet bumptious, personality." Despite his small size, the Chin has a larger-than-life approach to the world: alert, spirited and friendly to all whom he encounters. As a home companion, the Japanese Chin demands affection and little else, being a naturally clean pet, often compared to a cat in cleanliness, sophistication and self-awareness. This new Comprehensive Owner’s Guide provides an entertaining portrait of the Chin’s origins and history, the breed’s physical characteristics and temperament as well as the special requirements of the new owner. Owners will welcome the author’s advice on selecting a healthy, typical Chin puppy, rearing, feeding and house-training the pup, plus obedience lessons, home safety and grooming. Additionally, a lavishly illustrated chapter on preventive healthcare by Dr. Lowell Ackerman provides up-to-date accurate information on inoculations, parasite control, selecting a veterinarian and other topics vital to the ownership of a healthy pure-bred dog. Whether you are a long-time owner and breeder of the Chin or a newcomer to the Chin clan, this new volume will be a welcome addition to your breed library. | The Japanese Chin: Dog from the Land of the Rising Sun - $21.75Elisabeth Legl has written an in-depth revision of her book, The Japanese Chin: The Dog from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Born in the USA: A Story of Japanese America, 1889-1947 (Pacific Formations: Global Relations in Asian and Pacific Perspectives) - $29.40This unique oral history presents the Japanese American saga as told by those who lived through it. Frank Chin details the lives of first and second generation Japanese Americans before World War II with a rich kaleidoscope of images drawn from interviews, popular songs, novels, and newspaper articles. The heart of his story is the tragedy that followed the bombing of Pearl Harbor, when Japanese American citizens lost their homes and property and were forced into internment camps. The author deftly weaves interviews and testimony from the Japanese American Citizen's League (JACL) with opposing, in-depth conversations with those who resisted the JACL's support for U.S. policy. This shameful episode in American history resonates deeply today as we witness similar erosions of civil rights in the name of wartime security. | No-No Boy - $9.20John Okada was born in Seattle, Washington in 1923.
