Best book to learn UNIX from the begining

What is the Best book to learn UNIX from the begining?

What are the best books to learn it and what are the certificates such as CCNA in networks that i must pass?

IMO, you can't learn UNIX by the book, just as reading the CCNA books doesn't make you a good network admin. Download a few different open flavours of UNIX (Linux, *BSD, Solaris, ...), experiment with them on the command line, ...

A lot of good books to read are listed here.

And there's a lot of certificates abound in the UNIX world, at least one for each OS, and each level (beginner, intermediate, expert, and various specializations).

Yes. This forum. But again, I wouldn't worry about certification untill you have a basic grasp of UNIX in general, and settled on a flavour you're comfortable with.
