that,
which or

Tom McArthur (ed), "The Oxford Companion to the English Language"
Oxford University Press | 1992 | ISBN: 019214183X | siPDF | 1216 pages | 33.6 MB

The range here is wonderfully broad: language history, dialects, grammar, style, rhetoric, and so forth... this is a fine book for reference and browsing. Highly recommended."
