Free hint: not all members of this list are inside the US. Not all services
available inside the US are available from outside the US.
With Google Books especially there are limitations in how you can use
the service depending on geocode: it is fully launched in the US and
AFAIK launched in the UK, meaning you get access to content and can buy
ebooks where available[0]. From other places, the service is much more
restricted.
Kind regards,

[0] When I was physically in the US, I could attempt to buy books from
Google books but checkout failed because I had a *gasp* *horror*
Swiss credit card, not a US one. I bloody damn well _hate_
geo restricted services.[1]
[1] Yes, especially for content[2], the rights holders[3] are usually to
blame, not the folks trying to (legally) sell said content.
[2] books, movies, music ...

No, I can't. There's no single page. Perhaps Google is offering
you a pirated copy of the book, but here, there's just nothing
except the possibility to write a review and export the citation.

You can't read that book on Google books; it's not available.
You can preview a good deal of the book - from the Cover to page 348
