This question gets asked alot, but I suppose the answer keeps changing
as new stuff gets published.  For what it's worth, these are my current
favorites.  I'm sure there are other good ones, but I don't have the
time (or money) to read them all.

UNIX environment:
	Kernighan & Pike, "UNIX Programming Environment"
	Rochkind, "Advanced UNIX Programming"

UNIX internals:
	Shaw & Shaw, "UNIX Internals" (for non-technical people)
	Bach, "The Design of the UNIX Operating System"

As far as "C internals" goes, I think you'll have to stick with the AT&T
(or other developers) manuals.  Internals vary quite a bit between products.
Johnson's "A Tour Through the Portable C Compiler" is probably the most
generic.
