If it is general information you want, I find that I always go back
to "Environmental Interpretation: A Practical Guide for People with
Big Ideas and Small Budgets" by Dr. Sam Ham. The first three chapters
lay out many of the basics in an entertaining, clear and concise way.
We have used many of his lists and figures in our training manual. I
think sound, basic interpretation training will work no matter what
kind of resource (houses, atoms, forests)  you're talking about. NAI
(National Association of Interpretation) is at : http://interpnet.org
