Any Suggestions on Good Overview Books/ Sites

[Guest kes3000]

I am a recruiter trying to develop a wider HR background and get into an HR position which will allow for growth. (I have done well in recruiting, but really enjoy the other aspects of HR and would like to educate myself in order to further my career)

Does anyone have good suggestions on overview books that can give me the basics of the various benefits plans, issues, etc. I plan to go back to school at some point, but right now I need to work on this on my own.

Thanks for your advice! If anyone hears of a recruiting job where I could get my feet wet in these other areas, I would greatly appreciate it (Triad area, NC)
