1. Eloquent JavaScript" by Marijn Haverbeke

2. "JavaScript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford

I prefer these two books because they focus on the core features of JavaScript and highlight the best practices. It is concise and easy to understand, making it a good choice for beginners.

JavaScript can be a good choice for back-end development for several reasons:

1. Unified Language: Using JavaScript for both front-end and back-end development allows for a unified language stack, reducing the need to switch between different programming languages and enabling easier code sharing between the client and server.

2. Wide Adoption: JavaScript is widely adopted, making it easier to find resources, frameworks, libraries, and a supportive community for back-end development.

3. Asynchronous Nature: JavaScript's asynchronous nature is well-suited for handling concurrent operations and non-blocking I/O, which can enhance the scalability and performance of back-end applications.

4. Large Ecosystem: JavaScript has a vast ecosystem of frameworks and libraries such as Node.js, Express.js, and Nest.js, which provide powerful tools and abstractions for building robust and scalable server-side applications.

5. JSON Handling: JavaScript has built-in support for working with JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), a widely used data interchange format. This simplifies handling data transfer between the client and server.

In general, JavaScript (specifically the V8 engine, which is used in many popular web browsers) tends to be faster than Python for certain tasks. This speed advantage is primarily due to JavaScript being designed as a language optimized for web development and client-side scripting.

JavaScript's V8 engine is highly optimized for executing JavaScript code efficiently. It employs techniques like just-in-time (JIT) compilation and aggressive optimizations to improve performance. As a result, JavaScript can perform well in scenarios that involve browser-based interactions, front-end web development, and handling asynchronous operations.

On the other hand, Python is an interpreted language that focuses on code readability and ease of use. Python's interpreter executes code line by line, which can sometimes result in slower performance than languages like JavaScript which have a JIT compilation process.

In JavaScript, "method" and "function" are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between them.

A function in JavaScript is a block of reusable code that can be called or invoked to perform a specific task. Functions can be standalone entities and don't need to be associated with an object. They can accept inputs (arguments) and return outputs (return values).

On the other hand, a method is a function that is associated with an object. It is a function that is defined inside an object and can access and manipulate its properties and other methods. Methods are called on an object using dot notation, where the method name and parentheses follow the object name.
