The Last Dive : A Father and Son's Fatal Descent into the Ocean's Depths, by Bernie Chowdhury.
This book just came out last month. It's not a how to dive book. It was written for the general public, but covers a lot of good diving information. Chowdhury is an instructor and editor of Immeresed (A Tech diving mag.) The book explores attitudes and the danger of pushing too far too hard and fast. It is also just an overall well-written book.
