See "Software Engineering Concepts" by Richard Fairley, McGraw Hill
1985.  Dr. Fairley was chairman of the faculty at the now-defunct Wang
Institute of Graduate Studies, School of Information Technology.

The book includes discussion of various life-cycle models,
as well as prototyping, planning, cost estimation, requirements
definition, design, implementation issues, verification & validation,
and maintenance.

It is a good overview of the issues of software engineering, with good
references for particular topics of interest.
