Real world Oracle Tuning Book...
The book covers Oracle,Unix and Hardware issues in equal depth. It is very much detailed (though there are very few errors) and better than most of the Oracle Tuning books.

Great for Indepth Oracle tuning on UNIX
This is the only book that covers indepth tuning for Oracle databases in UNIX environments. The author cover tuning from a hardware, OS perspective as well as OLTP and DSS. This edition is better than the previous two. Topics convered include Volume Management, RAID, CPU, Memory for UNIX and all aspects of Oracle tuning. I recommend this book for experienced administrators (UNIX Admins and Oracle DBAs) because the author assumes good knowledge of Oracle architecture.

Good overview for Oracle on Unix
This book is an excellent overview of how the Oracle RDBMS runs on the various flavors of the Unix operating system. Knowledgeable Oracle DBA's will take away many performance tuning tips with a complete understanding of why, when, and how to implement. The first two chapters on The Unix Kernel and Paging/Swapping should be required reading for anyone administering Oracle on Unix.
