Barclay, L. (ed.) (2003) Propagation of Radio Waves, 2nd edn (London: IEE). This book supports an IEE course on the subject, with experts having written individual chapters. It includes chapters on individual ITU recommendations that are generally thought of as being easier to follow than the recommendations themselves.Google Scholar
