Well, there are lots of books, but I would recommend my own (of course).
Concurrent Programming in Occam 2, by John Wexler, publ. Ellis Horwood,
1989, ISBN 0-7458-0394-6, prince 29.95 pounds sterling.  It's aimed
specifically at competent sequential (e.g., C and Fortran) programmers
and it has been well reviewed in numerous places.  Do try it.

I recently broadcast a request for readers to nominate other interesting books,
and I broadcast the collation of replies.  I won't burden all readers with
another copy, but I'll e-mail a private copy to you, Pete.
