the reference sources above,
will give you the
history and overview of an issue. Also, books will have
substantial bibliographies that lead you to other great books
and articles related to your topic.

Scholarly journal articles (also called
"peer-reviewed") is latest research of experts in a field.
They are often very specific, complex, and include
substantial bibliographies.

press") are usually magazine and newspaper articles, written
for the general public in a relatively short, easy-to-read
format without bibliographies.
