This book is intended to be neither an introduction to concurrency (any threading chapter in an "intro" book does that) nor is it an encyclopedic reference of All Things concurrency (that would be Doug Lea's Concurrent Programming in Java). Instead, this title is a combination of concepts, guidelines, and examples intended to assist developers in the difficult process of understanding concurrency and its new tools in J2SE 5.0. Filled with contributions from Java gurus such as Josh Bloch, David Holmes and Doug Lea, this book provides any Java programmers with the basic building blocks they need to gain a basic understanding of concurrency and its benefits.

Best book that highlights on modern concurrency features made available in Java 5 and Java 6. All the sections of the book have awesome content on the concurrency and threads, practical issues (construction and visibility of objects/data and shared resources) and how to handle them. Code examples are very good.
Presentation is excellent and very much comprehensive. Assumes no high knowledge and prior experience of threads/concurrency to the reader. Anyone with basic thread programming knowledge in Java and minimal familiarity of terms like deadlocks, critical sections etc. can straight away read this book.
This book is a really detailed treatise on Concurrency concepts in Java. If you are looking at basic Thread concepts to be covered then this book is not for you. This book starts from where most Java books stop on Thread concepts. Its a slightly advanced book and not recommened for Java beginners. Its not only specific to Java but there are quite a good number of general concurrency aspects.
Bottom line is- if you are an advanced java user and want to read more about Concurrency aspects in Java then this is the right book for you.
I have read this book end to end at least 3 times and each time I learn something. It is a very well thought, well written and well designed book. A must read for all java programmers.
Before reading this book I thought I knew concurrency in java pretty well. But after reading this I realized there is so much to learn.
I liked chapters on ExecutionFramework and Cancellation very much.
As it is written by the developers of Concurrency and Collection it meets all the expectations of a good book :) Must have in your shelf! The book cruises through every detail. Concurrency is a topic that has to be dealt very wisely and effectively. The author stands in the readers shoe to make him comfortable!
