One of the best books on the item July 21, 2008
The book gives an excellent description for advanced topics in synchronization problems( at least this topics are advanced for an ordinary engineer who has hardly encountered something beside read-write spin locks and semaphores ). In my opinion one of the most interesting chapters are those that include theorems which give a low space boundary posed by the properties of objects used for synchronization.
The book is on the same level as Herlihy and Shavit's "The art of multiprocessor programming". I would recommend to read the both - it is hard to choose the better one, they both are excellent.
Excellent book for concurrent programming February 22, 2008

The book introduces the fundamental concepts of concurrent programming and presents synchronization methods and techniques used for solving numerous problems in programming multiprocessor (multicore) computer architectures. It is written in a clear style that makes it a pleasure read. A superb academic treatment of the topic.
