Some great books (like Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications) cite Parnas' papers, some (like Implementation Patterns) mention them in the bibliography. I know modern OO-ness was much inspired by Parnas' works, but are there books that essentially teach Parnas' concepts(*) as a method using modern notation, programming languages and non-obsolete examples?

(*) Some of them still waiting for their "David Parnas Was Right, and I Was Wrong About..."

P.S. The Software Fundamentals: Collected Papers by David L. Parnas must be a great book but it is just what its title says: a collection of Parnas' papers.

Please feel free to answer and comment.

While it may not be exactly what you are looking for, I much enjoyed the down-to-earth practicality of Applying UML and Patterns by Craig Larman.

In short, "Beautiful Architecture..." seems to be at least one answer.

...and "Software Requirements: Encapsulation, Quality, and Reuse" -- another one.
