That's Fred Suppe (no 's':  That's Pat Suppes).  The book is _The
Structure of Scientific Theories_.  It is a good book in terms of
explicating a number of positions (very thick as well).  By the
way, it's 'Hempel'.  A good (though aging) treatment of the D/N
model is to be found in Nagel's _The Structure of Science_.  One
should also look at Clark Glymour's _Theory and Evidence_.
