RAN:
Clearly written decompression theory is an oxymoron!
The Weinke book I'd recommend depends on what your circumstances are.
If you can't fall asleep, read his Technical Diving book.
If you are constipated and sitting on the toilet, read the other book! But you'll probably fall asleep there anyway...
Okay, I'm just kidding. I found his books to be VERY difficult to read, so I wouldn't recommend any of them to anyone that I know!
RAN:
Wienke's "Technical Diving in Depth" is largely an explanation of the derivation of his RGBM program, along with other technical diving information.
As Detroit Diver so delicately put it (Ed. note:---and he is well known for such delicacy---), it is a tough read. As proof of concept, he included a lot of the high-level math involved in his program. However, there is sufficient text to allow one to read around the math, and to understand wht is going on. It is by no means an "Intro to the Understanding of Deompression Theory and Practice."

I just call 'em as I see 'em!!!
John Lippmann's "Deeper into Diving" is an excellent book, and not too technical. I recommend it highly.

I have the 2nd edition(2003). I like the book but its been too long since I worked with that kind of math and in some cases never saw some of the math in his presentation. I do agree that there is enough text so that you can read around the math and still get the idea. At this point I think I understand the concepts so I am now going to try working through the math. I have another of his books about decompression and physics for commercial and technical divers.
