I thought the following were good, though not complete:

* http://cowlark.com/2014-04-27-ada/index.html


This is about Ada 2005:

* http://www.adaic.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ada-Distilled-24-January-2011-Ada-2005-Version.pdf

The Ada 2012 changes generally seemed straightforward and sensible to me.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6D5TPE/ is a shorter url that should reach
the same page.  I can't access it right now because of issues at my end
though.

There's a Wikibook about Ada that I've been wanting to read:

  https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Subject:Ada_programming_language

I might send in a request.  I won't be able to review it on Amazon but
could post a review here, if that works for you.
