Marc,
Hi. It so happens I just pulled some resources together on that very topic!
If you only get one book, make it "Software Project Survival Guide," by Steve
McConnell.
It's what you are looking for.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1572316217/103-4877057-6538267
Here are a few more of my favorites:
Resources From the 4PM Site
www.4pm.com/repository.htm
Book: John Gall, Systemantics: the underground text of systems lore
British humor for systems people. Such profound insights and
characterizations of the foibles and dangers of large systems, it would be
depressing if it wasn’t hilarious. The book Douglas Adams would have written
if he had spent his career as an engineer.

Book: Jim McCarthy, Dynamics of Software Development
Lots of juicy advice and lore about building an effective team and running a
software project.

Chris Frye at Web2001.
