The Burns and Wellings book is the ultimate reference and guide to these topics. My copy is always within easy reach and I keep the "prior edition", Concurrency in Ada, at home. Like my forthcoming book, it is published by Cambridge University Press. Both the publisher and I felt that the B & W book is too difficult for novices. It was a real struggle for my Junior level students with minimal Ada background to get through it. We look at Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time Applications with Ada as a prerequisite for the authoratative B & W book. John
