Books

Books can provide a good introduction to a subject. The book is based on information from a variety of sources. This information has been collected by the author and organized in a logical way, which is designed to help the reader. The publication time for a book is fairly slow, so it is not a good source of recent research results. Many people start by looking for books directly on the library shelves. You may find some books in this way, but remember that the best books are often out on loan!

You may check if your local library has these items by accessing the library catalogue.

There are also lists of books, i.e. National bibliographies, or online bookshops like The Internet Bookshop or Blackwell's Online Bookshop.
