I would recommend "Ada: A Developmental Approach" by Fintan Culwin 
(ISBN 0-13-489147-3). This book is actually a text on Software Engineering 
which uses Ada as the example language. As a result, it presents Ada in
Software Engineering terms.

I found this very useful in learning to use Ada as God intended.
