"A Developers Guide to Data Modeling for SQL Server" is billed to be for all level of data modelling development, however it is written in a style targeted to beginning novice developers only, and never progresses very far beyond demonstrating the fundamentals of Data Modeling. For novices, it is extremely good resource, explaining highly technical concepts in an easy to understand non-technical language. However, for the experienced developer, it would be best to look elsewhere.

Data Modeling and Database Design Review

I had the chance to take a class taught by N. Umanath, one of the authors, with this as the text.
This was not the case of the textbook being the chosen text because the author wanted sales. It was an amazing opportunity to learn the subject as the author intend(s/ed) it to be taught. My view of the book may be skewed because it was taught by the author (so he could have made up for deficiencies in the book, it's hard to say). But overall I learned a ton of stuff in a very short period of time, and felt several times more knowledgeable and capable on the subject.
Very understandable and readable. A few things are somewhat non-traditional, but they make very good arguments for where they diverge from tradition, and I personally believe that many of those divergences should be adopted at an enterprise level. Specifically their model for logical schemas.

Data Modeling and Database Design presents a conceptually complete coverage of indispensable topics that each MIS student should learn if that student takes only one database course. Database design and data modeling encompass the minimal set of topics addressing the core competency of knowledge students should acquire in the database area. The text, rich examples, and figures work together to cover material with a depth and precision that is not available in more introductory database books.
