Recommended reading: Shadows are hardly covered in the textbook (although you find some information on shadow maps and soft shadows in chapter 11.8 and 10.11.2, respectively). The stencil buffer tutorial is recommended background reading (but try to focus on principles, and not on details/code, and don't worry if you don't understand it completely. Browse, don't memorize, the 50 pages). It also covers fake shadows in section 4 and 5 and contains little info on soft shadows in section 6.4.
