I found these links courtesy of Rob Galbraith's DPI - makes very interesting reading indeed about studio lighting, including light shaping, types of lights, techniques, etc.
This one talks about 5 key things to look out for when choosing light shapers: coverage, edge transfer, shadow definition, shadow contrast and highlight:

This one talks about different types of light, e.g. soft, hard, diffused, etc.:

All with great example photos. Enjoy!
