Eschatology is commonly known as the study of end times or last things. This study usually refers to the Second Coming of Christ. Many books have been written on the subject which most of them do not agree with one another along with commentaries on the book of Revelation.
This is video, John Piper moderated a discussion in regards to the three main views of eschatology, which took place back in 2009 at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis. Joining Piper is James Hamilton, who hold the Historic Premillennial view, Doug Wilson, who holds the Postmillennial view, and Sam Storms, who holds the Amillennial view.
If you have two hours to spear, this video will be worth your time:

Like Storms, I hold the Amillennial view as well. There are two books (one written by Storms) that I highly recommend to give you an idea of what Amillennialism is:
Kingdom Come: The Amillennial Alternative by Sam Storms
A Case for Amillennialism: Understanding the End Times by Kim Riddlebarger
Regarding the other two views, there are books on the subject, however, I have not read them, but this might be a good starting point if you are considering either view or wanting to know what these view are:
A Case for Historic Premillennialism: An Alternative to "Left Behind" Eschatology edited by Craig L. Blomberg and Sung Wook Chung
Postmillennialism: An Eschatology of Hope by Keith A. Mathison
