If you're using linux on your ARM, I think the architecture you're using is not revelant since linux has done the job for you. If you're interested by the peripherals, problem is there is no such "standard" for ARM, any vendor/flavor/family has its own peripherals so you have to get the processor user manual from its manufacturer.
If you're using your ARM in a low-level fashion (linux drivers, bare-metal or low-level OS like FreeRTOS), I think "ARM System Developer's Guide" from Elsevier is a really good reference.
I would recommend you to buy an ARM toolkit. (LPC1768 and LPC1788 from NXP are both appropriate microcontrollers to start programming). just a book without any real world material can't give you enough insight into the programming concepts of a microcontroller. I think digging into the technical user forums on the net and reading and programming available programs shipped with the tool-kits is the best way to learn.
Hi,
I think Valvano is a good reference for this...

He published nice books, with the Stellaris family though.
Hope this is useful.
Recommended to start programming the NXP LP1768 (ARM Cortex-M3) using mbed.
I think you must first choice type of ARM such as ATMEL, NXP, .... Then select its version related to your work due to that features. Then read its datasheet and manual and use example code to implement and drive internal peripherals. For example Atmel has "asf-standalone-archive" that contain peripherals driver and example code.
I suggest you STM32F4 board in which there is a ARM Cortex-M4, note that you can program it either with c language or with simullink.
The first step is to learn the IO port programming.
After learning about the architecture you can try some basic programs like blinking of led, working with switches,LCD,Keyboard.
The next step is to learn and program different peripherals present inside the ARM processor. E.g: Timer module, ADC module, ect.
For the C program Kindly go through the following link:

Download the datasheet of the ARM processor LPC2148 to learn the architecture and the registers to be used to work with various pheripheral modules.
