Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach
by
Amit Singh
Mac OS X was released in March 2001, but many components, such as Mach and BSD, are considerably older. Understanding the design, implementation, and workings of Mac OS X requires examination of several technologies that differ in their age, origins, philosophies, and roles.
Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach is the first book that dissects the internals of the system,

Seriously in-depth review of Mac OS X technologies. It's not unabridged though, and wrt system components, you'll still need some other references. But it's a one-stop-shop for many, many Mac development questions.
It's in need of a new version soon, but this is the most comprehensive book on OS X out there. This is not a book for the average end user of a Mac. This is for hard core OS hackers and UNIX geeks. Awesome.
Aborting. It's not carryable, there's no ebook version (apparently there was one, but it was never readable on Macs!), and I am just not interested enough to keep going -- I find myself reading other books instead.
Not as relevant or important to me as I had initially thought -- nothing against the book, but I'm not enough of a programmer for it to be professionally valuable.

Never 'finished;' this book is fascinating but I found that it took a lower-level approach than I was curious at. It's great for someone delving into the core of the system but if you are interested in a concepts-level rather than code-level description of the Darwin kernel, this isn't really it. If you want to understand the code, however, this is perfect.
so far, it is excellent. it covers the origins of the os x operating system, and covers all the features of the system, giving the reader a full and very complete understanding of how it all fits together.
