Clarification about (non)linear regression

Hi,

In section 3.4.1, on page 104, it says "For instance, linear regression is often coupled with a feature transform to perform nonlinear regression".

As I understand it, the feature transform are on inputs, but the the model is still linear in the parameters w. Don't we then still have a linear model?
