FYSEM 110: Late Victorian London (Fitz-Gibbons)
Why Books?
Books are useful for in-depth information; including historical context, overview, synthesis and analysis of information.
Often a chapter or two, rather then the entire book, are all that may be relevant for your topic.
The process of writing, editing and publishing a book is lengthy, thus even the most recently published books may not contain the most current information on your topic.
