Rails - May 2009 - does map.resources :stories immediately make Story RESTful?

I was reading Simply Rails by Patrick Lenz... maybe I missed something,
it seems that whenever we put

map.resources :stories

in routes.rb

then immediately, the controller will have special conventions and now
Story is a RESTful resource? Maybe the author used the word resource but
didn''t mention that it is RESTful but they are the same thing?
