This is a good book. It provides a clear understanding of logistic regression analysis. I use it as a textbook for a number of my statistics courses.

Logistic regression analysis is an analogue to multiple regression--with the dependent variable pitched at the dichotomous level (just two values). It is a pretty sturdy statistical technique, not demanding a lot of assumptions about the nature of dependent and independent variables. This book is not terribly accessible (I get headaches in some sections), but it is a very nice brief introduction to the subject.
