At the end of the approach you round out (so you don't make a crater in the airfield) into the flare (holding off the ground as long as possible while your speed decays) until touch down.

Bank and roll are what you describe.

Books are good places to start for the basics
I won't recommend any one in particular because I haven't read any on powered flight and only a few on gliding
