Can anyone recommend a decent book on a) how to build a simple wind turbine for home use, including how to connect them to the house b) the ins and outs of how they actually work I would love to build my own wind turbine but don't know the first thing about mechanics/engineering so it needs to be for complete muppets.....

A good place to start is Hugh Piggott's Windpower workshop https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1898049270/ref=ord_cart_shr/202-8600285-1362234?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
