Book -  two to five authors

REF LIST IN TEXT

NB: Use the ampersand (&) between the last two authors’ names, except when paraphrasing in text where and is used. When a work has 3, 4, or 5 authors, cite all authors the first time, and in subsequent citations include only the first author followed by et al. e.g. (Krause et al.)
et al. is Latin for ‘and others’. If the author’s first name is hyphenated, include the hyphen with a full-stop after each initial.  See example above.
