White Whole Wheat -- What is it?

I understand that whole wheat contains the bran, rich in fiber, endosperm, the largest part of a wheat kernel, consisting of protein and water, and the germ, the embryo of the wheat, surrounded by highly nutritious vitamins, minerals and oils. What parts of the wheat kernel consist the white whole wheat flours we see today?

Favorite Whole Grain Bread Books

My ideal bread book is one that doesn't even acknowledge the existence of refined flour.  The Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book fits that description (I think - there may be a place or two where AP or bread flour is mentioned).  All other whole grain books that I have found still seem to think that whole grains can't carry a bread.  Even Peter Reinhart's latest book has "transitional" loaves.  He's forgiven because those are in the minority.
