The complete joy of hombrewing by Charles Papazian (known to some as the bible) has good info on all this.

I have been working on an article for our Wiki: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/The_Theory_of_Mashing

I'ts not as complete as many of the other sources, but we are getting there.
