"This excellent presentation of a collection of seminal operating system research papers has been compiled by a widely published and acknowledged authority in the field. … The author’s insightful selection successfully distills and succinctly presents the operating system research ethos, simplifying complex issues without belittling them, while managing to preserve the obvious enthusiasm shared by these pioneers. … This book is a mine of useful information that will prove useful to those students wishing to gain an insight into … operating system design."
