I'm trying to learn as much as I can about AREL. But I'm not sure what to look at.

I found some documentation on rubydoc, but it doesn't seem very good in terms of showing what are the "public API"/accessible things I can do. For example, I could not find any information on the "includes" method.

So, how exactly to learn most of what AREL has to offer? (i.e. without delving into the source code)

I got tired of reading tests and code, in the arel tree, so I put some slides together. They cover v2.x, I haven't even looked at v3 yet.
