I've seen occasional references of the form "see, eg, Alonso 1964,"
to indicate, not that Alonso did the original work, but that this
book or paper is either a good exposition of it or, less commonly,
one of several works that draws on it:

Smith's seminal work on Fizzbin groups led to an explosion of
applications in computer science (see, e.g., Alonso 1964 and
Wilson 1980).

Jones covers this narrow area of Foo quite thoroughly. For a 
broader background, see any standard textbook (eg Alonso 1964).


	I'd recommend contacting the author, if it isn't obvious,
to sort out which of these things is going on, and possibly recast
the sentence slightly to fit your reference style.
