Author of The Eagle's Shadow: Why America Fascinates and Infuriates the World, Mark Hertsgaard is an American journalist, broadcaster and author whose previous books include On Bended Knee: The Press and the Reagan Presidency and A Day in the Life: The Music and Artistry of the Beatles. Research for the present book involved a trip around the world asking people from 15 different countries what they thought about America. To say that America is "a place that is very rich and shoots lots of guns" is, according to the author, a fair shorthand for how the United States is seen by many people around the world. Whether the respondents are rich or poor, friend or foe, it seems that foreigners fear America's military might and envy its dazzling wealth. The view of America from the outside provides Hertsgaard with a platform from which to launch his own politically informed and engaged analysis of the United States and its people. The book is organised around a list of things that "foreigners think about America that American's usually don't talk about". A single chapter is devoted to each of the following propositions. America is; parochial and self-centred; rich and exciting; the land of freedom and opportunity; self righteous about its democracy; the future; out for itself; a hypocritical and domineering empire. Americans are philistines who are incredibly naive about the world. The author makes a sensible distinction between Americans as people and American political, corporate and media power structures before elaborating his case. It's no surprise that the really interesting and often shocking parts of the book deal with the disparity between American ideals of freedom and democracy and the actuality of America's ruthless, self-serving and hypocritical foreign policy. Of the American press he asserts that Americans have the worst of both worlds: "a press that, at best, parrots the pronouncements of the powerful and, at worst, encourages people to be stupid with pseudo-news that illuminates nothing but the bottom line". To support this view he tells us that corporate news organisations had the chance to report the story of bin Laden's plan to attack the US eight weeks in advance, yet they choose not to run the story because they were too busy chasing money. Other serious problems include the erosion of civil liberties, a ruthlessly divisive economy and a television and shopping culture held up as a model for the rest of the world to follow. Damning as all this is Hertsgaard is hopeful that--provided Americans start talking again--there is a chance of reclaiming the ideal of democracy and moulding it into something Americans can once again be proud of. It will be interesting to see how The Eagle's Shadow is received in America because, as the author himself points out, books that criticise America's power elite--books such as Naomi Klein's No Logo--are often ignored. Both books deserve better. --Larry Brown

PHP for the Word Wide Web is a well-presented introduction to this popular server-side scripting language. Aimed at beginners, the 14 chapters cover programming basics such as using variables, performing numeric calculations, creating user-defined functions and reading or writing to files. There are also chapters on HTML forms, databases, cookies and use of regular expressions. Like other books in the Visual Quickstart series, it uses wide margins and plentiful illustrations, although it has to be said that simple browser screens and code examples do not score highly on visual appeal. Even so, the combination of short, carefully explained topics, numbered steps and illustrations of the output makes for a clear, easy to follow tutorial. An appendix covers installation on both Linux and Windows. This is a slim title, and does not pretend to cover advanced use of PHP. The database coverage, in just one short chapter, is particularly thin. If you already have a little programming knowledge, you might prefer one of the more detailed PHP books, such as Beginning PHP 4 Programming, from Wrox, or Leon Atkinson's Core PHP Programming. On the other hand, those looking for a keenly priced guide to PHP fundamentals will find PHP for the World Wide Web an ideal starting point. --Tim Anderson

Brett McLaughlin's Java and XML is a well-informed guide to the partnership between two key technologies. For this 2nd edition, the author has slimmed down the introductory material on XML, making room for expanded coverage of fast-moving topics such as JAXP, SOAP and Web Services. There is plenty of new material, so this is a book worth buying even if you have the earlier edition. The author is a co-founder of JDOM, an XML document API, and is a well-known contributor to various other open-source projects. It is no surprise to find a focus on open-source tools and resources in this book. This title does not aim to teach either Java or XML from scratch, although the first two chapters do offer an XML crash course. The following chapters cover SAX 2.0, a standard API for parsing XML, and after that there is a detailed look at the DOM (Document Object Model). JDOM gets extensive coverage, as you would expect from the author's involvement, and there is a strong chapter on JAXP, the official API for XML parsing from Sun Microsystems, explaining why it is widely misunderstood and how it complements other standards such as SAX. The second half of the book offers a chapter each on more advanced topics. One covers Web publishing frameworks, with a particular focus on Apache Cocoon. After that the author covers XML-RPC, SOAP and Web services. A chapter on content syndication shows how to use XSL and RSS (Rich Site Summary) to publish and consume information. Next comes data binding using the Castor or Zeus frameworks, or Sun's official JAXB API. Finally there is a brief look at up-and-coming APIs, and a concise reference for SAX, DOM, JDOM and JAXP.Practical, informative and well-written, this book is ideal for professionals who are either working with Java and XML, or considering doing so. --Tim Anderson

The Definitive Guide to Apache MyFaces and Facelets is an ideal reference if you're looking to develop real--world applications with the open-source lightweight Apache MyFaces and Dojo (the Ajax API). The book focuses less on theory and more on aspects like scalability, design, optimization, and configurability. This book emphasizes meeting real--world requirements for performance and scalability. It includes lucid code samples that reflect the pattern being described. The In the Trenches" sections in each chapter give you advice and recommendations based on actual experiences with each pattern. What's more the "Extreme Extensions" section at the end of each relevant chapter is dedicated to a "freestyle" expression of taking a particular pattern or set of patterns to the max. (This is a great way for you to learn because of the magnification effect.) This is also the first book to embrace the Dojo framework for Ajax.

One of Britain's defining contributions to the modern world, Free Trade united civil society and commerce and gave birth to consumer power. In this book, Frank Trentmann shows how the doctrine of Free Trade contributed to the growth of a democratic culture in Britain - and how it fell apart. Far from the cold economic doctrine of today, in an earlier battle over globalization Free Trade was a passionately held ideal, central to public life and national identity. Free Trade inspired popular entertainment and advertising, in seaside resorts, shows, and shopping streets. It mobilized an alliance of elites and the people, businessmen and working-class women, imperialists and internationalists. Free Trade Nation follows the creation of this culture in nineteenth-century Britain, and its subsequent unravelling in the First World War and the depression of the 1930s, when consumers and internationalists, labour and business now attacked it for sacrificing international stability and domestic welfare at the temple of cheapness. These successful attacks marked the end of a defining chapter in history.The popular culture of Free Trade was never to return. For anyone interested in the current problem of globalization, this book offers a vivid and thought-provoking perspective on the success and failure of Free Trade. For champions of trade liberalization, it is a reminder that culture, ethics and popular communication matter just as much as sound economics. Believers in Fair Trade, by contrast, will be surprised to learn that in the past it was Free Trade, not Fair Trade, that was seen to stand for values such as democracy, justice, and peace.

Michael Palin, star of Monty Python's Flying Circus and A Fish Called Wanda, is in a comic race against time to get from the North Pole to the South Pole. Palin balks at nothing, tries just about anything and always finds time for a spot of tea. En route Palin stars in a crayfish documentary in Novgorod, attends a baby-rolling ceremony at a Cypriot wedding, gets stuck in a Nile traffic jam, buys chicken in Wadi Halfa, goes camel shopping in Khartoum and is prescribed tree bark by a Mpulugu witch doctor to get rid of his evil shadow. Even when things go according to plan, Palin travels in unusual ways--by dogsled on Spitsbergen, barge down the Dnieper, train roof across the Nubian desert, van through the Sudan, hot-air balloon over Kenya and down Lake Tanganyika on the "African Queen". With curiosity, courage, and his standard aplomb, Palin plunges himself into the local cultures, beating himself with birch branches in a Finnish sauna and wallowing in mud in an Odessa sanatorium. Reminiscent of his Around the World in 80 Days, Palin once again brings some of the world's most inaccessible cities right into your home. An armchair traveller's delight, this collectors' edition of Pole to Pole is ideal for anyone interested in the funny world we live in. --Tara Chace, Amazon.com
