To get a good handle on factors, and the sets of contrasts they encode, it is really necessary to study a good statistics book. I recommend mine Statistical Analysis and Data Display, An Intermediate Course with Examples in S-Plus, R, and SAS, Richard M. Heiberger and Burt Holland, Springer 2004 But I will acknowledge that other books are available.
