Actually, Mac isn't the only author. Anyway, http://cseng.aw.com/bookdetail.qry?ISBN=0-201-54979-4&ptype=0 points to a short description and you can order it online, it looks like. There's that book, and also "The Magic Garden Explained" is a great book about SysV internals, which is similar in some ways, very different in others. You might want to get that book for contrast. Sometimes, when trying to learn how something works, it's helpful to find out about another implementation that is completely different. Other than that, if you know C really well, reading through the code in the BSD source tree would be a good thing to do. If you go to ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems, (i think), there are several unix source trees to choose from, including 4.3BSD Reno or Tahoe, which are slightly older than the code FreeBSD comes from.
