John Lippman has covered it in 600 pages with his book "Deeper Into Diving" I
think its available through DAN. It covers the theory and
derivation of the following tables:

     US Navy, Huggins, Bassett, NAUI, New US Navy tables,
     Swiss/German, the ZH-L system, Buehlmann Tables,
     Buehlmann/Hahn tables, DCIEM, BS-AC, RNPL/BS-AC,
     BS-AC '88, and the PADI recreational dive planner.

It's also (for those interested) got some notes on
omitted & interrupted decompression procedures as per:

     US Navy, BS-AC, Buehlmann (1986) tables, Buehlmann/Hahn,
     and DCIEM.

Yes info on bend rates and the old US Navy bend-o-matic
tables go to 300ft.
