Used Book in Good Condition
Visual Effects: The History and Technique
Pretty much what it says on the tin, and what you're mostly looking for as a broad overview. It isn't completely up to date -- a lot has changed just in the six years since its publication -- but as far as history and lineage goes, it's the gold standard.
There are also some books focusing on particular major houses that also contain solid general background:
Industrial Light & Magic: The Art of Special Effects
Industrial Light & Magic: Into the Digital Realm
Industrial Light & Magic: The Art of Innovation
Digital Domain: The Leading Edge of Visual Effects
The Winston Effect: The Art & History of Stan Winston Studio
For the most up-to-date state of the art and industry, you can't go wrong with Cinefex, and as far as history lessons go, get a hold of as many backissues as you can. The entire catalog is coming to iPad early next year.
