I highly recommend these texts as an introduction to parallel algorithms:

@book{JaJa,

   address = {New York},
   publisher = {Addison-Wesley Publishing Company},
   title = {{An Introduction to Parallel Algorithms}},
   year = {1992}
}

@book{Akl,
   author = {Selim G. Akl},
   address = {Englewood Cliffs, NJ},
   publisher = {Prentice-Hall},
   title = {The Design and Analysis of Parallel Algorithms},
   year = {1989}
}

@book{Quinn,
   author = {Michael J. Quinn},
   address = {New York},

Michael Quinn has a 2nd Edition of the above book called

Parallel Computing:  Theory and Practice

It's only been available for a few weeks.  Try it, you'll like it.
