Harvard style : introduction

The Harvard style is a type of author-date style. Generally, a reference in your paper requires only the name of the author and the year of publication. At the end of the essay there is an alphabetical list of the references used (a bibliography).

Here is a sample bibliography. Do you know which type of information each reference is (e.g. a book or journal article)? Move your mouse over each reference to see if you were right.
