1) The Java tutorial (at java.sun.com) has material on threads. I strongly suggest that you go through the tutorial.
2) The Simon Roberts et al cert book has a good section on threads.
3) The first few chapters of the "Taming Java Threads" by Allen Holub is good when you want more detailed information on threading. Probably the whole book is good, but I found I only needed the first 3 or 4 chapters to really solidify my understanding... that and writing a bunch of little practice programs.
