Windows Internals is the canonical resource.

(I bet you would enjoy the concurrency and I/O sections from The Be Book and The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System too.)

Specifically as described here:

The benaphores were a brilliant idea. Plus, the general threading approach that avoided issues with direct, pointer manipulation. Add microkernels, memory protection, and threading all the way down for quite a unique kernel with incredible performance on old hardware. I'd be curious what a vanilla port of BeOS kernel on modern, multicore hardware would do vs a typical OS in fair benchmarks. We'd also include a little note that only one does it relatively safely. ;)

Is The Be Book available in PDF or ebook format anywhere?

I believe you can find something about BeOS here:
