If you're interested in learning about the kinds of problems that motivate some of Clojure's concurrency features, "Java Concurrency in Practice" is excellent. The concepts are not specific only to Java, although the examples and libraries discussed happen to be Java-based. I especially like its pragmatic approach - it's written for working programmers rather than for coursework, so it's a pretty fast and interesting read. > about the difference between atoms, vars, refs, etc and when to use > each in practice.

I'd like to This book doesn't discuss these programming constructs, as they are not available in Java. But it's still an insightful book if only to learn about what kind of concurrency problems exist, despite Clojure offering a different way to deal with them than does Java. e
