How Does Electric Power Generation Work?

[NotoriousNick]

Are there any good resources for learning how Electric Power Generation works?

For example, let's say you have a deisel generator pumping 60 Hz into the Grid. I'm wondering how the physics of this works, or if there is a reference area on the internet I can learn more about this.

Or if someone can give or point to an overview on this.

Thanks
