	Deitel's book is pretty good as a 2nd yesr OS course text, and it
does cover UNIX as a case study (in a very basic way).  The dinosaur book
is very much same as Deitel's book, it also covers UNIX.  There is a book
called "The logical Desgin of Operating System" by Shaw(?), it's also one
of those 2nd year OS course text.  All these gives general coverage on 
OS construction technics.
