Table 2.8

In Table 2.8 "Currency symbols outside of range", the entry for Cent sign shows the character for Ç, the cedilla, (UNICODE \u00E7) instead of ¢, (UNICODE \00A2).

The UNICODE code is correct; the symbol displayed is incorrect.

NIO 2.0
It would be handy if you included coverage of creating temporary files/directories. Also checking for permissions on a file and looking at meta-data.

Concurrency
No coverage of volatile.
Highly recommend covering Future/Callable - reduces the need for hand-rolling your own solution. Emphasize the utility of the concurrent APIs over writing threading logic.
One other suggestion, list the threads present in the JVM - specifically the main thread and the EDT. SwingUtilities.invokeLater/invokeWait/SwingWorker.
