I have the following two Ada books @ my desk:
	*Software Engineering with Ada*, Grady Booch
	This is a great book (IMO) for learning the "Ada way" of doing things.
	It is a ok reference book.  He does show how to use generics and taskin
g.

	*Programming in Ada plus LRM*, JGP Barnes
	This is a great reference book (IMO).  Generics and tasks are very
	well covered in this book.

Between those two books I rarely can not find the technical Ada answer I need.
