The right darkroom book?

Curious if there is a current book that covers film 'developing' on
subjects such as
the effects that specific developers will have of specific films and such,
like bring-
ing out the best sharpness and contrasty tonality with shadow detail.

The idea is a specialist book of teaching these things, I am no expert and
have had
very little experience in the long past... I looked in Border's books, the
only two I
could find were AA's 'The Negative' (too old?) and 'The Darkroom Handbook'
which looked really old (as new).  Maybe either book are kept up in
revision?
Would either book cover the current World's compilation of chemicals and
films?

Any help very much appreciated,
