Disambiguation Notice:
"The C Programming Language" and "The C Programming Language, Second Edition" should not be combined as one work. The languages described are significantly different: K&R C in one case, ANSI C in the other. Any variant of the title with "second", "2nd", "ANSI" or "ISO" in the title almost certainly refers to the second edition. K&R C is these days of only historical interest, while ANSI C is a very important language. If you have any book about C , Objective C, C# etc, please do not combine it with either edition of "The C Programming Language". Also Brian Kernighan should not be combined with the "author" Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.

Go Programming Language, The (Addison-Wesley… by Alan Donovan
A must read for anyone serious about learning Golang.
Solid book it delivers what it promise.
A history that can be understood as a very high level introduction to operative systems and UNIX in particular.
And a memoir, that while it is not particularly well written it manages to convey some of the feelings of the author when it comes to his time at Bell Labs.

First person account of the birth of UNIX. Fun read, especially if you have met the author.
