Adam Goucher published a review of my latest book Bridging the Communication Gap:

I’ve been dealing with requirements for almost 11 years now from a testing perspective and the approaches and concepts presented in Bridging the Communication Gap are the best I have seen with trying to rein in this beast. I’ve recommended it to two people I’ve taught so far and if you find you are having issues determining or delivering what the customer really wanted, I recommend it to you too.
