Electronics...the final frontier

I am in the process of building a 2" shaft pillow block mount. Building the mechanical parts to the mount is no problem but electronics is a mystery to me.

So where to start with understanding this subject. Any books/sites that are good for understanding how to read a circuit diagram, I guess is the sort of thing I'm after.

Pictured is a 10" 359 tooth Byers drive that will be the RA gear for the mount. I have a 12V stepper motor with it. What do I need to get this motor powered up to track. It comes with 'instructions' pictured. My vague understanding is supply 12V power and it will do its stuff....correct
