Overview vs Monograph

An Overview is a book which addresses a time period such as A Global Age: Europe 1950-2017. Use the index to find your topic; it may be a chapter or just a few pages. An overview is meant to place your topic within the context of the time and larger world.

Monograph is a book which addresses your specific topic. If you are researching a person, a monograph could be a biography of the person such as Margaret Thatcher: Power and Personality.
