Opearing systems concept

I have been using this book for my master in IT science and it has been a great help in my studies. I hardly have to go elsewhere for research; its content is very clear and very concrete. I have to say that this book has added a great value to my studies.

Fairly good delivery time

I bought a used book that is still in good shape. The delivery time was also fair.

OS Time

Please, it's a book on operating systems with a flippin dinosaur on the cover. Actually not a bad book, though in reality, I did feel like a retard reading something with a dinosaur theme throughout the book. Then again, I feel like a retard most days.

If you take a class...

That uses this as it's text, be worried. The book is decent, but definitely just "concepts," no intensive knowledge is conveyed in it's pages. Oh well.

Another defining moment in the evolution of operating systems
Small footprint operating systems, such as those driving the handheld devices that the baby dinosaurs are using on the cover, are just one of the cutting-edge applications you'll find in Silberschatz, Galvin, and Gagne's Operating System Concepts, Seventh Edition.
By staying current, remaining relevant, and adapting to emerging course needs, this market-leading text has continued to define the operating systems course. This Seventh Edition not only presents the latest and most relevant systems, it also digs deeper to uncover those fundamental concepts that have remained constant throughout the evolution of today's operation systems. With this strong conceptual foundation in place, students can more easily understand the details related to specific systems.
