Investment Banking Primer?

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of any guide or primer that explains investment banking and the different divisions? I want to develop a solid understanding of what investment bankers do and whether it is a career I would be interested in pursuing. Would also be interested in learning more about what the different divisions do. The more in-depth the better.

Thanks!
