I'm looking for an informative book on the way the Darwin deals with memory management. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I would start looking on Apple's developer web site for information.
I doubt there would be an actual book published on it. It seems like a niche topic.

What exactly do you mean by "Darwin memory management"? The VM subsystem?

I'm writing my bachelor dissertation on how the Power PC chip and Mac OSX does 64 bit memory management. I got the go ahead yesterday and I'm just looking around for general info on how the Apple operating system deals with issues like sparcity and thread protection.
I'm grateful for anything.

Well, if you don't have any luck on Apple's developer site, you can download the source code and start going through it. By the end, maybe you will be able to write a book about it.
Good luck.

Yea, I was going to say to check out the resources located here--> http://developer.apple.com/darwin/ since this site deals with the underlying *BSD structure. Remember, the OS X 10.3 is based on FreeBSD 4.4 & the Mach-O kernel so if you can't get info right away from the Apple site I listed above, maybe you can search on these pieces individually to get more info.

Actually, Panther is based on FreeBSD 4.7, with parts of 5.x integrated as well. Tiger will move to FreeBSD 4.8, with more parts of 5.x.

"Based on" is misleading.
