I will also say, it's likely this is the best text book on concurrency. There are some first principles where it's explanations are engaging and clear.

It's just that book ignores the very real changes that are at the core of modern concurrency (including Async), and that I don't believe is a positive.

And while it did mention recursion, I looked really hard for it to cover things like shared lock-cleanup on `fork()` or thread crash, and a number of other important (often encountered) real-world concerns, and didn't find anything.
