John,

Depending on where you are in your understanding now, Wienke's book "Basic
Decompression Theory and Application" (just one of his books) is a good
place to start.  In the back of that book is a list of references, 114 to
be exact, and Tauchmedizin lists 73 more.  How is that for a recommended
reading list?  

We all have an interest in decompression modeling as divers.  Our life and
health demand it.  However, there is no short cut to gaining the
understanding needed to develop your own tables.  If you have a burning
desire to understand this topic at that level you can and will find the
information you need.  If you do not have that burning desire buy a copy of
Abyss and forget about all of the math.  All of the work won't be worth it
if don't have a burning desire.
