Best textbook for learning about ordinal numbers

[vinven7]

HI - what is the best textbook, website or another resource to learn about ordinal numbers (Alph -0, Alph-1, etc) and their properties? I don't even know if there is a specific subfield of set theory that they fall under. Thanks!

This depends on your background, and which properties you are interested in. A good list on books on set theory is to be found here: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/251490/textbooks-on-set-theory
By the way, you listed aleph-0, aleph-one, etc. These are ordinals, but they are only those ordinals which are infinite cardinal numbers.
