This book was reviewed elsewhere on SB by Lynne earlier this year, but I just read the book and thought it deserved a mention in this new, dedicated review section. Very well written book covering a fairly complicated topic in a straight forward and easy to understand manner. Well, ok - a few sections I needed to re-read
I thought it was excellent, but he could have benefit from a better proof reader. There were a couple of places were there were obvious typos (although the only dangerous one that I spotted was where inexplicably he switched from referring to ppO2 to ppN2 in a series of formulae when he clearly was referring to the partial pressure of oxygen!).
Yes, there are quite a few typos, and some mislabeled graphs (but only one that I remember that couldn't be puzzled out, if you knew what he was TRYING to say). Even with those faults, though, the book is something I think every active diver ought to own and read.
It's a great book if you don't want to go through the pain of searching for articles and research papers on deco theory. If you have already done that, then you won't get that much out of the book.
And two thumbs down on the editorial work. I don't think a book from a publishing house (as opposed to one published by the author himself) should have that many typos, repetitions, mislabeled graphs, etc.
