Can't find what you need?
Books are the best source for in-depth information when you really need to know a subject in and out.
Typical books are structured in such a way as to lead you from little knowledge about a subject to a more thorough understanding; this cannot usually be said for web resources or articles. Scholarly articles are typically written by and for experts in a field and so cannot be easily understood by someone that is not familiar with the jargon. Web resources usually do not provide any in-depth examination of the information.
