conventions

What's the best book about coding conventions (and perhaps design patterns), that you highly recommend (at best code samples in Python, C++ or Java)?

It would be good, if the book (or just another) also covers the topics project management and agile software development if appropriate (for example how projects fail through spaghetti code).

I will accept the answer with the book(s) (maximum two books per answer, please), that looks the most interesting, because the reading might take a while :)
