Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
It's late 1945 at the start of this atmospheric historical thriller, and G.I. Adam Miller, officially assigned to ferret out Nazi war criminals in Germany, joins his widowed mother, Grace, who has recently arrived in Venice from New York to resume her life as a wealthy American expatriate. Together, they flow into the social eddies of the upper class, determined to pick up where they left off in 1939. Grace has met an old flame, Gianni Maglione, a distinguished doctor whom Adam suspects of gold-digging. Meanwhile, Adam himself meets Jewish Claudia Grassini, who survived the Nazi pogroms by becoming the mistress of a powerful Italian Fascist. The novel's languid pace picks up when Claudia meets Maglione, whom she accuses not only of being a Nazi collaborator but also of having condemned her own father to Auschwitz. Further complications arise with the appearance of Rosa, an Italian operative and former partisan. Kanon (The Good German, etc.) keeps his complex plot—involving murder, elaborate alibis, false accusations and a web of secrets spinning back to the war—on track, although the various entanglements aren't always neatly unraveled. Adam and Claudia's love affair provides the requisite romance, but there's no sense that they find much to like in one another. More interesting is Kanon's portrait of a pathetic and hopelessly naïve group of wealthy people out of touch with the postwar world's reality. Agent, Amanda Urban. Author tour. (Apr.)

From Booklist
In The Good German (2001), Kanon superbly evoked the post-apocalyptic, pockmarked moonscape of 1946 Germany. Now he turns to postwar Venice, where there are no pockmarks but the survivors are equally shell-shocked by the nearness of evil. Adam Miller, fresh from a stint as a war crimes investigator in Frankfurt, arrives in Vienna to visit his globe-trotting mother, who is holding tenuously to the remains of her fortune and embarking on an autumnal romance with a Venetian doctor whose wartime associations with the Nazis remain troubling if obscure. Miller begins a tumultuous romance with a Jewish woman whose own wartime experience has left her with deep psychic wounds. Soon enough the past can no longer remain hidden as a stunning murder leaves Adam torn between righting wrongs and protecting those he loves and himself. In a world where alibis are the currency of the era--everyone was "somewhere else when the air-raid sirens covered the sounds of people being dragged off"--Adam attempts to tread lightly through a landscape loaded with moral land mines. As before, Kanon juxtaposes a powerful love story and a gripping thriller against a palpable historical moment, but this time his hero can't quite shoulder the burden, his naive American assumptions about right and wrong leaving him ill-equipped to respond and never quite able to garner our full sympathy. And, yet, the novel holds us completely, with its vision of a sadly inadequate hero striking deep at our worst fears about ourselves. Bill Ott

Adam Miller is weary of his work. As a U.S. Army war crimes investigator in post war Germany, he's systematically separated the truly evil Nazis from citizens who merely closed their eyes to fanaticism gone beyond their control. When his tour of duty ends in 1946, Adam visits his widowed mother in Venice. She has returned to familiar surroundings in hopes of being happy again. Venice initially appears to be untouched by the war, but destruction takes many forms. Bombed out buildings are not always the worst aftermath of war.
At first, Adam is at loose ends. Memories of death camps leave him sleepless and disoriented. He wanders the canals and alleyways in hopes the city's beauty will provide solace or at least energize his spirit. His mother is engaged to Dr. Gianni Maglione, a betrothal he suspects is for her money. Old family friend Bertie Howard practices a forced gaiety, which Adam finds improbable. A wintry Venice with its cold rains and creeping fogs depresses Adam, until he meets Claudia Grassini. Making love in secret, seedy hideaways brings delight at first, a fleeting comfort as awful truths unravel. Wherever Adam turns, nothing is as it appears to be.
People do things to survive they wouldn't consider under normal circumstances. They bend, ignore, pretend. And no one has perfected the art of surviving better than those who live in Venice. Adam suspects Dr. Maglione may be more than a fortune hunter. He may be a Nazi sympathizer, or worse. And Claudia has her own secrets to protect. One unexpected act of violence smothers passion until remaining lovers becomes nothing more than an airtight alibi for Claudia and Adam.
Kanon's writing style is personable and seductive. His characters are real and human, fully developed. Venice becomes a living entity and the winter weather a chilling accomplice to tragedy because Joseph Kanon is a skillful wordsmith. Established fans will enthusiastically embrace Alibi. Readers not familiar with Kanon's work should be converted rapidly to devotees.
As Kanon himself is apt to explain, there was a gray area that existed for a lot of Europeans in WWII. Many were forced into situations they didn't want to be in. Many played the odds and joined sides they thought would ensure their survivial. And some found themselves with a new freedom to unleash darker sides they'd been hiding, hoping in the end they'd be vindicated. No matter the case, the mystery here is but a question: during the nazi occupation of Venice, who was really at fault for helping the Germans? The answer is really up to the reader to conclude.
This is certainly the darkest of all his books. I wasn't even sure if I should be routing for the protagonist, as he is both likeable and infuriating. Of course, Kanon does this on purpose, puttting us, the reader, in the position of those Italians who sided with the Germans for whatever reason they did--we're siding with Adam because we have to, because he's the story, our own private Venice, but we're not sure we really like him or understand him. He's a good guy, with good intentions, but he's also a bad guy, acting before he thinks. He's a gray area.
The book does contain a somewhat convoluted type of story telling where the protagonist forces the plot to take turns based on lies that we, the reader, know to be false. In this respect, it can be a little harder to read than his previous works. And there are moments when the police inspector seems to be asking the wrong questions. And the dialogue, though fantastically real, can be a touch homogenized with so many staccato Italian accents. But these are mostly forgiven as we progress through a web of lies that grow thicker on every page.
The book ends with a wholly satisfactory conclusion (and a tense chase) that stuns the reader.
I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to explore what people went through during the war. But it might be best to read any one of his other books first, as they are more conventional and easier to get through. At the end of the day this is his most ambitious book, and I believe it hits the mark--just not in the traditional way. But yes, it's a great read.
Into this milieu comes Grace Miller, an American widow, and her son Adam, just released from the US Army as part of a de-Nazification team in Frankfurt. Grace is about to marry Gianni Maglione, a Venetian doctor, and Adam wonders about Gianni's past. Soon Adam meets Claudia Grassini, a young Jewish woman who survived internment in Fossoli, and they begin a passionate affair. When Claudia is introduced to Gianni at a party, however, she recognizes him immediately, telling Adam that Gianni betrayed her very sick father to security forces rounding up Jews.
Using his past army connections to get further information about Gianni, Adam investigates, but violence soon changes the focus of his energies, and the nightmare involving Adam, his family, and Claudia intensifies. Adam's extreme introspection as he helps the police investigate broadens the scope and focuses attention on important themes of crime and justice, and Claudia's vulnerability as a result of the Holocaust gives added poignancy to her similar self-examinations.
With a setting so vivid that one cannot imagine the story taking place anywhere else, the reader sees Venice shining, but beneath the surface it is a decaying city, literally sinking under its own weight. War crimes, hate crimes, crimes of passion, crimes committed for altruistic reasons, and crimes committed in self-defense all play a part in the plot. Kanon also raises questions about the punishments, if any, associated with these crimes. Are some crimes less "serious," or even justifiable, if they balance the scale of justice? Is the murder of a criminal excusable? Does justice depend on who wins? Ultimately, a chase scene through the canals of Venice, leads to a stunning conclusion, filled with twists, though whether justice is truly served remains an open question. Mary Whipple
Not a bad book - I give it a 3 - just not a very good one either.
"Alibi" is not a conventional whodunit since the reader knows who the killer(s) is. What it's supposed to do is provoke thought along the lines of: Is a murder of revenge a justifiable crime? Are crimes committed during wartime any less heinous due to the need to survive? Does cooperating with the enemy for self-preservation an inevitable choice? Where do we draw the line between murder and self-defense? These and other moral dilemmas are supposed to be the novel's focus. Unfortunately, these become buried in a sloppy plot and non-stop talking. As an historical thriller, it's very lean on the thrills and is probably the most "talkative" novel I've read. Every page is leaden with lengthy and drab dialogues--every single page (I'm not exaggerating) to the point that I really stopped caring long before it ended:
Adam: I'm sorry I'm late. Any news?
Grace: Nothing. Something terrible's happened.
Police: Signora, we don't know that.
Grace: Of course it has. What else could it be? What's awful is not to know.
Police: I've sent a man to Dr. Maglione's house. He will call if--
Grace: He comes home? He won't. Something's happened.
Adam: No word at the hospitals? Anywhere?
Police: No. So a great mystery. But, let us hope, with a simple explanation. The best thing now would be to sleep.
Grace: Sleep.
Now, imagine that level of dialogue for 400+ pages. It reads like a script for some amateur theater production for a high school audience. Claudia's "lines," being she's Italian and marginally fluent in English, are treated worse. All throughout. She is. Speaking in. Staccato.
I'm not fond of romance, but can appreciate it if done well. Adam and Claudia are supposed to be madly in love. Yet nowhere in this novel did I read anything that would convince me of such. Their relationship is devoid of the passion one would expect from two young people crazy about each other. And no, jumping into bed at the first opportunity doesn't count. Also, for a Nazi hunter, Adam comes across as a wimp. I'm not expecting some superhero, but at least someone dynamic. If I were a former SS informant, at the very least, I should be a tad nervous being around this guy. As he is, even an expat senior citizen regards him as rather foolhardy. The plot becomes confusing to the point where one no longer knows who's doing what to whom--are the Fascists still after the communists; are the communists after the partisans; are the polizia pro-Fascist, pro-partisan or both; who was really snitching to the Nazis? The only thing definite is that the expats don't care. They're too busy partying.
It's tempting to compare this with other mysteries/thrillers set in Venice. Donna Leon's Brunetti series, for example, is so very engaging and entertaining with its interesting and colorful stock characters and witty dialogues. Andrew Wilson's "The Lying Tongue" is compelling and a bona fide thriller. If you're after some good mysteries with Venice as the backdrop, these would be better choices. "Alibi," on the other hand, was a great idea marred by banal dialogues and uninteresting characters.

10 facts about atheists
Here's what we know about self-described atheists and their beliefs.
Americans may be getting less religious, but feelings of spirituality are on the rise
The phrase "spiritual but not religious" has become widely used in recent years by some Americans who are trying to describe their religious identity.
Q&A: Why Millennials are less religious than older Americans
We sat down with Michael Hout, a professor of sociology at New York University, to examine possible reasons.
Religious 'nones' are not only growing, they're becoming more secular
Religious "nones" make up 23% of U.S. adults, up from 16% in 2007. And only 27% of those "nones" are absolutely certain about God's existence, down from 36% in 2007.
U.S. Public Becoming Less Religious
There has been a modest drop in overall rates of belief in God and participation in religious practices. But religiously affiliated Americans are as observant as before.
5 key findings about religiosity in the U.S. – and how it's changing
Our new report finds that whether U.S. adults are becoming more or less religious depends, in part, on how religious observance is measured.
10 facts about religion in America
It's a fascinating time for conversations about faith in the United States, with Pope Francis set to visit, a presidential election on the horizon and major trends reshaping the country's religious landscape.
Major U.S. metropolitan areas differ in their religious profiles
The religious face of America is largely a Christian one, with roughly seven-in-ten Americans belonging to that faith. But some of the nation's biggest metropolitan areas have a very different look.
What is each country's second-largest religious group?
While either Christians or Muslims make up the largest religious group in nine-in-ten nations around the globe, the religiously unaffiliated rank second in size in most of the Americas and Europe, as well as in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
Q&A: A look at what's driving the changes seen in our Religious Landscape Study

Sat Aug 25 2012 (Updated 09/04/12)Surveillance Cameras, New Laws, Security Fences, and 3500 Police for 2012 RNC; Two Arrests
The 2012 Republican National Convention was held in Tampa, Florida from August
Indybay has reports, photos, and video from throughout, with additional posts still coming in.
August 31st: In the evening, while Mitt Romney was giving his speech to close out this year's Republican National Convention, a protest march left Romneyville. Separately, on the last day of the RNC, a number of activists left Tampa, or finalized plans, to travel to Charlotte, North Carolina for the Democratic National Convention, scheduled for the following week, September 3rd-6th.
August 30th: In the early afternoon, several Earth First! activists used lockboxes across the entrance to stop traffic into or out of one of the largest coal power plants in Florida, TECO's Big Bend power station. An anti-war demonstration was held near the gates of the MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa. That evening, protesters marched from Romneyville in a Silent FTP (Fuck the Police) march. Demonstrators carried trash bags and collected litter from downtown streets, but were stopped by police.
Earth First! Lockdown at Tampa's Big Bend Coal Plant
August 29th: Planned Parenthood sponsored a rally for women's reproductive rights in the afternoon. Late in the day, labor organizers held a march throughout the downtown area near the "free speech zone" featuring skits that drew attention to republicans' anti-worker policies.
Photography Is Not A Crime (Interview with Carlos Miller)
August 28th: The largest event of the day was the Rally and March Against Voter Suppression @ the RNC in Ybor City, inside the security "event zone." Code Pink attempted to make a citizen's arrest of Condoleezza Rice for "war crimes" at an event connected with the RNC. Also, on Tuesday were a "How Wall Street is Burning Democracy" workshop in Romneyville, a Really Really Free Market at Occupy Tampa's still-going Voice of Freedom Park encampment, and another evening RNC concert.
RNC 2012: Scare Tactics & Protester Perseverance
August 27th: Protest highlights for the first scheduled day of the convention included the March on the RNC, the March for Our Lives, the parading of hundreds of police and deputies in riot gear, and an evening Roving Radical Dance Party. There was also an "Is This What Democracy Looks Like?" RNC discussion panel in St. Petersburg and a "Celebration of Resistance" musical show in the evening. The RNC itself was cancelled for the day due to the threat of then-Tropical Storm Isaac. The second arrest of the RNC was made after the March for Our Lives when one demonstrator refused to remove a mask, now illegal as per the new anti-protest law.

Total Twang and Severe Reverb: An Instrumental Smorgasbord Flavored by the Films of Quentin Tarantino
Yes, Tarantino music is it's own genre. Ask the many ad execs who pick up on the latest from every Tarantino film and use it. There are great songs that have singing in them too, but we don't do those.
We specialize in the great crossfade between 60's-70's Surf, Soul, Spy and Spaghetti Western that makes gangsters, samurai, failed thieves, and even basterds somehow more hip, and more appealing.
We were Ennio, Booker T, Mancini and Dick Dale fans long before we saw any Tarantino Movies, but there's something about what's moving on the film during these songs that makes them really swing. See ya later.

Well I've read all of your opinions for weeks. Listened to all of your numbers crunching. Debated on both sides of the argument. I've come to the conclusion that none of you really know much about what you're talking about, and have no ability to explain events. I post silly stuff, and often ignorant stuff because I don't know much about math, the stock market and investing. But, it seems I'm just as accurate as most of you. I wish you all the very best of luck.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
events are tough to explain. mainly because there are something like 8 to 20 million shares that trade every day. not always the same shares.
that is what makes a market. if 100% of investors went only on fundamentals, a price would be discovered, and then it would stay there. until something that impacted fundamentals came along. ditto technical. ditto value. ditto news. etc.
not only that, a hot day in some other stock can make AGNC sell off as people look for cash to play the other.
sometimes you just have to go with your gut, plus everything you can learn about a stock or a sector, plus everything you can detect from the Fed's flatulence. you can even bring in phases of the moon.
what is certain, for now, is that sometime in july AGNC will pay a buck and a nickel to those who are shareholders of record later in June.
today's Fed announcement probably PO's half of the market players. rest assured that the market only has a memory that extends backwards in time for about 2 seconds. about the time it takes to click buy or sell. the dividend run begins now.
This message board is forecasting better than the Fed.
You're correct on most counts. However, the one truth of the market is that no one can predict outcomes. Thus, when you invest or trade, it is without knowing what the results will be. You may believe you know where things are going, but you don't. However, time is almost always on the side of the investor (this is easily verifiable through backtesting). Watching the market day-to-day is likely to generate far more trading errors than simply letting things develop. And, of course, many people when they've made a decision defend it to the death, whether it turns out right or wrong, which you see a lot on Yahoo boards.
no different that paid analysts. We know nothing, and more importantly, they know nothing.
Iggy we now yoy dont have a clue about anything.

EBS Encryption: Enhancing the Amazon Web Services Offering with Key Management
July 23, 2014 Added by:Gilad Parann-Nissany
Full disk encryption is becoming more and more popular in cloud settings, and some of the smaller clouds like Google Compute Engine have supported it for a while. Amazon is a bit late to this game, and should lead the way in enabling customer control of encryption keys.

NSA vs. Cloud Encryption: Which is Stronger?
April 12, 2014 Added by:Gilad Parann-Nissany
The NSA is powerful: they watch, they listen, they collect data. In cases of national security, perhaps this is a good method to catch terrorists. In cases of private business data, there is a way to block the NSA from getting to your sensitive information: strong data encryption.

Medicare Payment:
CMS Methodology Adequate to Estimate National Error Rate
GAO-06-300: Published: Mar 24, 2006. Publicly Released: Mar 24, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) estimated that the Medicare program paid approximately $20 billion (net) in error for fee-for-service (FFS) claims in fiscal year 2004. CMS established two programs--the Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) Program and the Hospital Payment Monitoring Program (HPMP)--to measure the accuracy of claims paid. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 directed GAO to study the adequacy of the methodology that CMS used to estimate the Medicare FFS claims paid in error. GAO reviewed the extent to which CMS's methodology for estimating the fiscal year 2004 error rates was adequate by contractor type for (1) the CERT Program, (2) the HPMP, and (3) the combined national error rate (including both the CERT Program and the HPMP). GAO reviewed relevant CMS documents and reports related to the CERT Program and the HPMP. In addition, GAO reviewed work performed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) and its contractor that evaluated CMS's fiscal year 2004 statistical methods and other aspects of the error rate estimation process. GAO also conducted interviews with officials from CMS, HHS's OIG, and their contractors.
The methodology used by CMS for the CERT Program was adequate to estimate the fiscal year 2004 error rates by contractor type--carrier, durable medical equipment regional carrier (DMERC), and fiscal intermediary (FI). Carriers pay claims submitted by physicians, diagnostic laboratories and facilities, and ambulance service providers. DMERCs pay claims submitted by durable medical equipment suppliers. FIs pay claims submitted by hospitals, home health agencies, hospital outpatient departments, skilled nursing facilities, and hospices. The methodology was adequate because CMS used a large sample--about 120,000 claims--and an appropriate sample selection strategy. For these fiscal year 2004 error rate estimates, CMS made improvements in the collection of medical records that supported the sampled claims. These medical records were appropriately reviewed to determine whether there were errors in payment. CMS used valid statistical methods to estimate the fiscal year 2004 error rates for the carrier, DMERC, and FI contractor types. The methodology used by CMS for the HPMP was adequate to estimate the fiscal year 2004 error rate by quality improvement organizations (QIO), which are responsible for ascertaining the accuracy of coding and payment of Medicare FFS paid claims for acute care inpatient hospital stays. CMS's sampling methods were adequate because the agency used a large sample, approximately 40,000 claims, that was representative of the population from which it was drawn in terms of average dollar amount per claim. Also, the HPMP had adequate processes in place to ensure appropriate determinations of error. CMS used valid statistical methods to estimate the fiscal year 2004 error rate for the QIO contractor type. The fiscal year 2004 contractor-type error rate estimates for the CERT Program and the HPMP were appropriately combined to determine the national Medicare error rate through the use of a valid statistical method. CMS estimated the national Medicare error rate by averaging the carrier, DMERC, and FI contractor-type error rates in the CERT Program and the QIO contractor-type error rate in the HPMP, weighted by each contractor type's share of total Medicare FFS payments. In written comments, HHS noted that GAO found CMS's methodology adequate for estimating the fiscal year 2004 national Medicare FFS error rate. HHS also noted that CMS is continually committed to refining the processes to estimate, as well as lower, the level of improper payments in the Medicare FFS program.

Recently had the opportunity to spend a week at the Gateway Mountain Lodge with a group of friends. The lodge was centrally located, making it very easy to visit various ski resorts and different towns. The Lodge itself had ample underground parking where all of the spots were relatively close to the central elevator. There was even plenty of room to keep bicycles secure. Our unit had four bedrooms and three bathrooms - plenty of space for a large group of adults. Kitchen was well-equipped and well-ventilated with a grand open design. The unit had massive, two-story view of the mountains which was just the right inspiration to get us ready for the the first chair. I was surprised by the overall quietness of the Lodge: even though the resort appeared to by booked to capacity, we never heard any noise from our neighbors.
Staff was extremely helpful on check-in and polite throughout our stay.
On the negative side, the ski lockers provided on the first floor were totally impractical as the individual lockers were much too small to hold more than two pairs of skis and they could not even accommodate snowboards. The jacuzzi pool was only modestly warm.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Gateway Mountain Lodge is centrally located in between both River Run and Mountain House ski area bases at Keystone.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
The FDA Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee voted 9 to 0 in favor of approving Boehringer Ingelheim's dabigatran etexilate for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib). Dabigatran etexilate is an oral direct thrombin inhibitor being studied in the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic thromboembolic diseases.
For 50 years, warfarin has been the only oral anticoagulant available in the U.S. for stroke prevention in patients with AFib, Boehringer Ingelheim points out. Current guidelines for patients with nonvalvular AFib treated with warfarin recommend maintaining an INR control range of 2.0–3.0 through regular blood monitoring and dose adjustments.
The Phase III RE-LY study, upon which the panel's recommendation was based, established the safety and efficacy profile of dabigatran without INR monitoring, dose adjustments, or food restrictions, the company notes. Bleeding and gastrointestinal events were the most commonly reported adverse events in this trial.
RE-LY was a global randomized trial of 18,113 patients enrolled in 951 centers in 44 countries. It was investigating whether two blinded doses of dabigatran etexilate were as effective as well-controlled warfarin for stroke prevention. Patients with nonvalvular AFib and at least one other risk factor for stroke were enrolled in the study for two years with a minimum follow-up period of one year. Other risk factors included previous ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, systemic embolism, left ventricular dysfunction, age greater than or equal to 75 years, and age greater than or equal to 65 years with either diabetes mellitus, history of coronary artery disease, or hypertension.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
Like many other incipient technologies, Web services are still surrounded by a tremendous level of noise. This noise results from the combination of wishful thinking on the part of research and industry and a lack of clear understanding of how Web services came to be. These factors make it extremely difficult to get a coherent picture of what Web services are, what they contribute, and where they will be applied.
Based on their academic and industrial experience in middleware and enterprise application integration, Alonso and his co-authors clarify the fundamental concepts behind Web services and present them as the natural evolution of conventional middleware necessary to meet the challenges of the Web and of B2B application integration. From this perspective, it becomes clear why Web services are needed and how this technology addresses such needs.
Rather than providing a reference guide or a manual on how to write a Web service, the authors discuss challenges and solutions that will remain relevant regardless of how emerging standards and technologies evolve. Thus, this book is ideally suited for both professionals involved in application integration projects and researchers and students interested in understanding and contributing to the evolution of application integration technologies.

Excellent overview of the problematics of service oriented architectures on the Web and of their relationships with their EAI counterparts (corba,rpc,..).
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
You can find a sample chapter on the author's site:
Advice: if you are looking for a hands-on how-to book about XML this is not the book to pick up. Otherwise, if you are looking for a good fundamentals book that will help you paint a big picture of Web Services this book is great!
When it comes to the part on web services, the focus is mostly on B2B integration and does not account for the varied application we see nowadays. In particular, it's natural that it does not touch on web services being the foundation in a multi-device world where we have phones and richer clients (running Javascript, Ajax, JQuery, etc.), what one would expect for a more modern book on web services.
Also, it's important to note that it focus primarily on SOAP and spends some time talking about technologies that ended up failing in the end (like UDDI registry) or may not of the interest of readers, like RosettaNet (at least wasn't of much interest to me). And more interesting technologies, like WS-Coordination or WS-Transaction, were not explained in the level of details that I would expect. WS-* standards like WS-Addressing, WS-Routing, WS-Security, and WS-Policy are barely talked about. These sections could have used the the same attention paid to the first section (web service history). In that sense, the book is a little inconsistent on how detailed it is.
I'd have rated it higher had I read it back in 2004. In 2012 it does have value for the historical context and definitely good for those who want to know how we got where we are, but it doesn't help much if what you're looking for is how to write your API to expose your Web Service. For a more modern approach (and potentially more practical) I would try to find other options.
One of the best books which answers the question , Why Web Services?? Unique perspective on middlewares in general.
Do not expect any code examples or details of any particular middleware.
