Good Books On Programming With Threads?

uneek writes "I have been programming for several years now in a variety of languages, most recently C#, Java, and Python. I have never had to use threads for a solution in the past. Recently I have been incorporating them more in my solutions for clients. I understand the theory behind them. However I am looking for a good book on programming threads from an applied point of view. I am looking for one or more texts that provide thorough coverage and provide meaningful exercises. Anyone have any ideas?"

Erm, the tenets of programming usually involve the general concept of "Eliminate the unnecessary." Therefore, the parent is correct: if multi-threaded processing is unnecessary, avoid it.

What you meant to add to the dicussion is the corollary: If it is unavoidable, use it wisely.
