There is good coverage of these topics in Yilun Yang's "Fundamental Principles of Go".

If you are really interested in playing styles, you should check out Yuan Zhou's Master Play books. They make a lot of things clear.

The new Master Play volume will contain seven new players and the commentaries are the same as in the other volumes in the series. There are fourteen games.

Slate & Shell will bring out a Master Play book by Zhou this Fall containing seven famous pros--two games each, well over 200 pages. Price should be no more than $20.00.
