From FAQ: "Avoid asking subjective or argumentative questions." One book per answer means you are voting on /books/ not /answers/, which makes this question inherently subjective.

comment What's the point of secondary fermentation?
@Jeff Interesting. So is the importance of that CO2 overblown, or are the beers you're talking about still producing CO2 at the 1-2 month mark? This may need to be its own question, but is there a good heuristic for determining when it is appropriate to move to secondary (or if for that matter)?

Getting the residual yeast away from the beer is also important because that residual yeast can produce off flavors. Additionally, you still want the beer fermenting (though at the end of fermentation) since like you say, you need some CO2 to push the O2 out the top of the carboy.
