user37: I just read Allan Wallace's "The Attention Revolution: Unlocking the Power of the Focused Mind" book. He cites vipashyana (or vipassana, vipassanā, vipaśyanā, lha-thong) but he doesn't deepen much on it.
Can you refer to some texts and books regarding this meditation?

user-1: I have written an answer here which provides free books on the practice of Vipassana medition. 
All the books are written by the late Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw. You will find information about the practice of insight meditation, the fundamentals, the technique, development of insight etc. This might be of some help.

user199: Daniel Ingram's "Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha" is a superb reference for this. It also explains the differences between different forms of practice, which is useful for deciding when and if to do what. See this answer for more details. And the book itself is freely available from Daniel's site.

user295: Buddhanet contain a lot of meditation related ebooks on the topic which you can read. A good introductory book would be:

Essentials of Insight Meditation Practice
MINDFULNESS IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Right Mindfulness: Memory & Ardency on the Buddhist Path

Also following questions on the site might be of interest also:

Introductory books to Buddhism
Beginner academic text recommendation
Learning materials for Dependent Origination (Paṭiccasamuppāda) in Theravada Buddhism
English (or other European) translations of Pali Canon
