"To my understanding the book encompasses all of today's best
knowledge about the physiology and medicine of diving. I'm fully
convicted that you will find this new edition impossible to give up
on." Dr. Peter HJ Mueller, European Journal of Underwater and
Hyperbaric Medicine, March 2003
does a reviewer have the opportunity to state that the book he is
