Simple assoication not working

I try to follow the example from a book called "CakePHP Application
Development"

I have created the following table under MySQL
books(id, isbn, title, description, author_id)
authors(id, name, email, website)

And created 4 .php files:

C:\xampp\htdocs\relationship\app\models\authors.php

<?php
class Author extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Author';
var $hasMany = 'Book';
}
?>

C:\xampp\htdocs\relationship\app\models\books.php

<?php
class Book extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Book';
var $belongsTo = 'Author';
}
?>

C:\xampp\htdocs\relationship\app\controllers\authors_controller.php

<?php
class AuthorsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Authors';
var $scaffold;
}
?>

C:\xampp\htdocs\relationship\app\controllers\books_controller

<?php
class BooksController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Books';
var $scaffold;
}
?>

When I try to view the books (http://localhost/relationship/books),
author column only shows author_id but not the author name. Also,
under edit screen, the combo box for pick up author name is empty. I
also tried to remove $hasMany and $belongsTo and the result is the
same. It seems that the $hasManay and $belongsTo has no effect at
all.

Is there anything I missed?
