There is that, but the environment is so hostile it really is hard.

When I were a lad, we used this:

    Fundamentals of Operating Systems 
    By A. Lister

    Hardcover 
    161 Pages
    Edition: 3rd ed
    Published by Springer-Verlag New York, Incorporated
    Date Published: 09/1985
    ISBN: 0387912517

At 161 pages it makes it a 'readable' size.  The rest I picked up 'the hard way'
(tm) or from brucee or maltby.
