Here are the last two good books I've read on C++ and which discuss these matters as well:
"Effective C++" by Scott Meyers ISBN:0-201-92488-9
"More Effective C++" by Scott Meyers ISBN 0-201-63371-X

Both are 100% what their title says. The first one has one special and excelent chapter on memory management. The
second one contains deep discussions on the "new" and "delete" operators, smart pointers and good memory
management + exception handling.

Another wonderful book is Bjarne Stroustrup's "The Design and Evolution of C++" (ISBN: 0-201-54330-3).
He also dedicates a special chapter to memory management where he explains why is memory management
the way it is in C++.
