Camshaft Questions

Hey,

So I'm new to the board and I'm not the most knowledgeable about cars, but I'd like to learn. Anyways I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to read up on camshaft duration and what they mean? Also if anyone knows of some reading in general that would help explain engines and what not that would be helpful?
