Reviews
The book is largely self-contained, has countless examples, and focuses on what really matters. As such, it is very well suited for both a teaching environment and for practitioners looking for an opportunity to learn about this topic...The book is written in a way that makes multiprocessor programming accessible. This updated version will further confirm its status as a classic. --ComputingReviews.com, 2013
