Here is a nice talk about Persistent Data Structures from the creator of the Clojure language:
http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hickey
The stuff he says about "Time" seems to go to the core of what a consistency model is.
Also, I like the whole idea of immutability and the immutable/persistent data structures. These are ideas that simplify the way we code, but I'm not a huge fan-boy of persistent data structures like the presenter, mostly because the performance of these data structures is not as good as other techniques.
Worth watching, at least to understand why the Object-Oriented model gets broken by Concurrency.
