Synthesized answer
The book "Specifying Systems by Leslie Lamport" is divided into four parts. The first part is designed to provide most programmers and engineers with the necessary knowledge for writing specifications [1]. The emphasis in this initial section is on safety properties [1].
The second part of the book delves into more advanced topics, which are intended for more sophisticated readers [1]. These advanced topics include liveness and fairness, real-time properties, and composition [1]. The third and fourth parts serve as a reference manual for TLA+, covering both the language and its tools [1].

From the book
Title: Specifying Systems by Leslie Lamport Description: Both a tutorial on specifying systems and a complete reference to TLA, this is the distillation of 25 years of work by a renowned computer scientist. Divided into four parts, the first part contains all that most programmers and engineers need to know about writing specifications. The second part has advanced material for more sophisticated readers. The third and fourth parts comprise a reference manual for TLA+--both the language itself as well as its tools.
