Ta para8etw mazi me merika endiaferonta poy exw brei sto amazon.

Any additional user input much appreciated. By the way, eyxaristw osoys

 [1] "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System"
      Marshall Kirk McKusick, Keith Bostic, Michael J. Karels and John
S. Quarterman
      Addison Wesley, ISBN: 0123-4567-89
      Description:
      The authors first update the history and goals of the BSD system.
Next they
      provide a coherent overview of its design and implementation.
Then, while
      explaining key design decisions, they detail the concepts, data
structures, and
      algorithms used in implementing the system's facilities. As an
in-depth study of
      a contemporary, portable operating system, or as a practical
reference, readers
      will appreciate the wealth of insight and guidance contained in
this book.

  [2] "Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets"
        Peter van der Linden
        Prentice Hall PTR, ISBN: 0131774298
        Description:
        Defying the stereotypical notion that technical books tend to be
boring, Expert
        C Programming offers a lively and often humorous look at many
aspects of C --
        from how memory is laid out to the details of pointers and
arrays. The author
        reveals his points through invaluable anecdotes, such as stories
of costly bugs,
        and through folklore, such as the contents of Donald Knuth's
first publication.
        Each chapter ends with a section entitled "Some Light Relief,"
which discusses
        topics (topics that some may consider to be "recreational"),
such as programming
        contests. A fabulous appendix on job interview questions
finishes the book.

  [3] "Mastering Algorithms With C"
         Kyle Loudon
         O'Reilly & Associates, ISBN: 1565924533
         Description:
         Written with the intermediate to advanced C programmer in mind,
Mastering
         Algorithms with C delivers a no-nonsense guide to the most
common algorithms
         needed by real-world developers. The highlight of the book has
to be its concise
         and readable C functions for all the algorithms presented here,
including basics
         like linked lists, stacks to trees, graphs, and
sorting/searching algorithms. The C
         functions that implement these algorithms are clearly printed
and remarkably easy
         to read. You can use this sample code directly or adapt it into
your C/C++ code.

  [4] "Advanced C Programming by Example"
         John Perry
         PWS Publishing Co.,  ISBN: 0534951406
         Description:
         This practical, example-driven, code-centered book is intended
for intermediate-level
         C programmers who want to take their skills to the next level.
The book builds on
         readers' existing background in C to complete their knowledge
of ANSI C libraries,
         and the conceptual and syntactic structures needed to master
dynamic data structures,
         string parsing and numeric conversion, memory management,
bit-level manipulation,
         interactions with operating systems, and other advanced
techniques. What sets this
         book apart from traditional data structures books is it's "blue
collar" approach to the
         art of programming -- how to master the "down in the trenches"
C details to
         implement abstract ideas successfully. In recognition of this
approach, the book
         presents actual C code rather than pseudocode.
