Books provide overviews and in-depth information. Scholarly books are peer reviewed and cite their sources--just like scholarly articles. Use scholarly books when you want authoritative content, depth and detail as well as background on a topic. Scholarly books often take longer to publish than journal articles, so the information in books may not be "cutting edge."
Interdisciplinary books can be useful in getting a good grasp on the subject. They provide perspective on how agricultural engineering interacts with other disciplines such as climate change, pollution and "forever chemicals," water resources, genetically-modified organisms (GMO), land management, and how humans modify our environment.
