How would you compare this book to Deco for diving?

 

[Red Sea Shadow]

If you mean Deco For Divers by Mark Powell, it's a prominent book. The only edition I'm aware of was in 2008. There has been a lot of updates to our understanding of the deco theory since.

FYI, here's the TOC of Deep Into Deco:

FOREWORD

INTRODUCTION

1 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

2 BASIC DECOMPRESSION PRINCIPLES
Halftimes
Supersaturation, gradient and critical supersaturation
Ascent rates

3 DISSOLVED-GAS (HALDANEAN) MODELS
Haldane
Workman
Bühlmann
Adaptive algorithms
Deep stops
Gradient factors

4 NITROX
Nitrox physiology
Nitrox for accelerated decompression

5 MIXED GAS
Which gas?
High-pressure nervous syndrome (HPNS)
Using trimix
Isobaric counterdiffusion (ICD)

6 DUAL-PHASE (BUBBLE) MODELS
Asymptomatic (silent) bubbles
Evolution of dual-phase (bubble) models
Varying permeability model (VPM)
Critical volume algorithm (CVA)
VPM with Boyle’s Law compensation (VPM-B)
VPM-B conservatism
VPM-B variations
Reduced gradient bubble model (RGBM)
Combined models

7 OTHER DECOMPRESSION MODELS
Slab diffusion
Kidd–Stubbs
U.S. Navy exponential linear (USN E-L)
Probabilistic models
Decompression Computation and Analysis Program (DCAP)
Arterial bubble (AB)
Copernicus
SAUL

8 VARIOUS TOPICS
The oxygen window
Flying after diving (FAD)

I saw a new edition of Deco for Divers listed on Amazon last year, with a publication date of December 15, 2014. I pre-ordered it, but a few days ago Amazon cancelled my order due to lack of availability. Does anyone know when this will come out, and how I can order it?

What do we know now we didn't know then?

What do we know now we didn't know then?

If you mean by then 2008, then for instance; position on deep stops, "seriously" considering hydrogen, using antioxidants, to name a few.

Antioxidants?

 

[Red Sea Shadow]

Antioxidants?

See? There's something new after all

This part is discussed in the [Novel approaches] section.

If you want to compare it to Powell's, this one would be more into modeling, yet it's missing topics like saturation diving.

It is possible to find room on the bookshelves for multiple books on deco.

So what does 'antioxidants' mean in the context of deco? I know this is SB and all questions are only really there to reveal that the person questioned is a cretin but actually I am interested to hear what is new.
