Rapid Development by
Steve McConnell
Whenever someone asks for just one book to read on software development
I always recommend McConnell's. At 608 pages it has something to
say about almost any situation you could find yourself in.

than just an introduction. I especially like Jim's suggestions on
running a project kick off meeting
