 Yourdon Press, 1995
There's a more recent edition out now, but I don't know what the difference may be. Anyhow, this is the book that made the concept of objects in requirements and analysis space penetrate my mind. Like, when you first start out describing the objects in the problem domain, it's very difficult to figure out exactly what is best described as an object and what not. This book is loaded with real world cases and entertaining dialogs between the author and fictive customers aka domain experts. Included with the book is a nifty little freeware/shareware analysis diagrammer for the object symbolism used in the book. It's slightly quaint in that it's in smalltalk and has weird runtime problems. Doesn't print well either. But there aren't many programs out there to draw object diagrams in, so it's more than useful.
