Title: clear introduction to threads, but a dubious hardcore manual
Review: okay, maybe 2 stars is a little on the low side, but i have only otherwise seen the book given 5 stars, which in my opinion is a misrepresentation.plus points are clear writing and diagrams, going beyond re-explanation of thread API to include some useful patterns and plenty of lengthy examples if that's what you're after.minus points are not a lot on finest, trickiest points and some dodgy assertions when you get into those realms. 2 examples:1 - does not address lock-ordering in its "deadlock avoidance" section.2 - "as a rough guideline, try to avoid calling Thread.yield() more than 5 times per second" (in my view a bit outrageously woolly/unqualified).depends on what you're after.
