[Polar Bear · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book isn't bad but it is misleading. It is not about software engineering. It is about software engineering academic research. Virtually all the contributors are academics.

[Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is for researchers and practitioners of software empirical studies. This is a wealth of information about conducting empirical studies and is well-written.
