The older and simpler one: Handbook of Relational Database Desing,
Candace C. Fleming, Barbara von Halle, 1989. This book includes logical
Data Modeling (ERD) and product independant Database Desing.
The new and big one: Information Modeling and Relational Databases:
>From Conceptual Analysis to logical Design, Terry Halpin, 2001
This book includes: Object-Role Modeling, Data Modeling (ERD), Class
Modeling (UML) and Relational Database Desing.

If you are not IT person and want to start from the very beginning, try
"Database Design for Mere Mortals: A Hands-On Guide to Relational
Database Design" by Michael J. Hernandez. However, the Oracle Course
named "Data Modeling and Relational Database Design" is the best, in my
opinion. You can find a lot of Student Guides for this Course in the
network.

I would not recommend the
"Database Design for Mere Mortals: A Hands-On Guide to Relational
Database Design"
book at all. It tries to rubbish the importance of conceptual knowledge
and theory. Something which leads to databases which I have to fight
with every day.

Here are some of the links that I visit quite often....

I would have to agree with the chosen Halpin book because I doubt you
can find a more comprehensive book when it comes to dealing with
databases and database design. He covers all boundaries and leaves
almost nothing unsaid.
