Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.

The animal on the cover of Java Servlet Programming, Second Edition is a common European bear. There are eight species of bear: giant panda, spectacled, sun, sloth, Asiatic black, American black, brown, and polar. Nearly all bears, except a few populations of spectacled and sun bears, live in the northern hemisphere. All bear species have a similar anatomy, but they vary greatly in size, from the sun bear the smallest, weighing 150 pounds or less to the polar bear, which can grow to up to 1,800 pounds. The habitats in which they live vary as well, as does their diet. Bears are carnivores, but all species except the polar bear have an omnivorous diet. Biologically speaking, it is thought that bears may be related more closely to walruses and sea lions than to other carnivores. Their life span is not well known, but it is thought to be about 25 to 40 years; bears in captivity tend to live longer than those in the wild.
