Can anyone recommend a good book to get started on concurrency, with discussions of models, and a few implementations such as golang and python 3.5+?

While I can write this kind of code, I don't feel like I completely understand some of the concepts.

I'm not far, but Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks is pretty good and might fit what you're looking for.

I recommend the book very much. However it doesn't have a chapter the single-threaded concurrency handling (with eventloops, and futures/promises and sometimes even plain callbacks), which is currently en-vogue in lots of languages (JS, python asyncio, boost asio, etc). So this is something one should look up elsewhere.

Do you have any reading material that you would recommend for single-threaded concurrency?

Concurrency and parallelism is such a huge landscape of difficult problems and complexity that I doubt any such introduction exists. I never found one, anyway.
