As others have noted, N6LF's website is a goldmine for understanding 
radials, the performance of verticals, and other antenna issues. The 
ON4UN book is also worthwhile.

You might also want to study some of the antenna planning presentations 
on my website. k9yc.com/publish.htm  In addition to the obvious ones on 
vertical antenna height and a comparison of vertical and horizontal 
antennas at various heights, and with various ground quality, there's 
also one about getting on 160M from a relatively small lot, which is 
mostly about radial and counterpoise systems.
