I can recommend the Little Book of Semaphores, which is freely available at http://www.greenteapress.com/semaphores/

If by "an applied point of view" you mean "give me code that I can cut and paste into my app" this might be a bit theoretical for you, but if you make it through this book you will actually understand what's going on and recognize the difficult problems.
