Great intro to G Theory, but you'll also need...

This is a well-written, easy-to-digest book that I was able to read in two sittings over one weekend. It provides the background on G Theory, but if you're hoping to conduct your own G Study, you'll also need Brennan's "Generalizability Theory" and the GENOVA software that is free and available on the web.
