Try the following:

	Deitel, H. M., Operating Systems, 2nd ed., Addison-Wesley, 1990.
	ISBN 0-201-18038-3.

Although it is challenging in places, it provides a good introduction to
OS concepts and some good case studies to back them up.  Case studies in
the second edition include Unix, OS/2, MS-DOS, Macintosh, VM, and MVS.
It has sections on networking, RISC, and parallel processing.  It's a good
all-around reference, too.
