I would have thought Boye'se book would be informative, even if I don't like his uber-patronizing writing style.
They are both internet guru's. All the other books on that list were written by high level olympic caliber coaches. Zatsiorsky's book is the most accessible if you want to get more into the nitty gritty of sports science, Supertraining has everything you could ever imagine covered in some fashion but you would have to be pretty bored and nerdy to read it cover to cover. I use it as a reference all the time when I run across an interesting topic. Siff & Verkoshansky will have an in depth description somewhere in there. I don't know why they have Facts & Fallacies on there when Supertraining is the pretty much just the unabridged version.
