Memory management in Postgres

Hello,

I'm very interested in PostgreSQL memory management, specially in the
concept "memory context". I've read the official documentation at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/spi-memory.html, but I'd
like to learn more about it. Do you recommend me any particular book
or url?

Many thanks in advance,
