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 J...

Nice read. Must read for every professional Java programmer. The examples illustrates the good to follow paradigms and the ones to avoid. Programming the examples is the best way to get a grasp of the things.

This book contains a lot of wisdom about concurrent programming. And I am saying wisdom here, not information, not even knowledge. A good know-how of multi-threaded Java programming.
The team of authors is highly talented, and their experience of Java platform over the years is the key to the high quality content in the book.

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 knowle...

If you want be master of threading in java, go for this book.

This book is not for freshers of Java. One must have good basics of Threading before start reading this book.

The book brilliantly explains Java Concurrency. Have easy to understand language I will recommend it 100%.

This book explains Java specific and general Concurrency concepts very well. You wont need to buy any other book to learn Concurrency concepts. This book has also made its way in Intel's 2014 Developer Reading list

(Haven't bought yet)
No-book can beat this book in terms of learning and polishing Java multi-threading. However please note that this book(which is being sold) is not the latest edition. This is first edition (which just touches) the Java-5 while there have been couple of editions came out post this edition.
Latest edition is available in market in range of 500-550.
