Recumbents For Dummies

I have gone through the threads here and have spent some time googling, and I could do more online if I must, but I have some very basic questions as someone not familiar with recumbants. I don't understand the references I keep seeing to "DF" bikes, or the advantages of short v. long wheelbase, or 2 v. 3 wheel bikes (other than the obvious balance issue), etc. Most of these posts seem to involve some sort of basic knowledge.

Is there a source, online or in a book, that can give a very basic primer on recumbants; types, purposes of each, comparisons, etc.? I don't need a recumbent for any particular reason but they look like a lot of fun but I don't know where to start.
