Later in the semester, you will start research in these databases. I will check in at that point and see if I can add anything.
A book can never be peer reviewed. Only articles from academic journals are peer reviewed.
Books are considered scholarly when they are written by scholars. If a book is published by an academic press (one affiliated with a university), that is a good indication that it has scholarly content. There are exceptions, especially in the sciences where there are many publishers that scholars published with that are not affiliated with schools.
