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_. -- Gary H.
