Great for cross platform programming

This book focuses on the thread APIs on POSIX and WIN32 (+ others). It shows also how some features can be emulated using the primitives. A great timesaver is the discussion of the differences between the POSIX drafts. This won't teach you thread design, but it is a very useful reference to the API's because you can look up very quickly whether a certain feature is available on your platform(s) of choice.
