This is volume 345 of a series in Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. The purpose is to publish the proceedings from the meeting of the ISOTT. This is an important work, providing synopses by experts in their fields of the current status of work on oxygen transport to tissue. As such, the objectives of the authors are met. The book is written for basic scientists, clinical scientists, and students with specialized interests. Each article is written by a credible author who is working on the specific topic. The quality of the book is attributable to the publication approach using photo-ready manuscripts provided by each author. The resultant differences in fonts, point size, spacing, justification, and graphics styles gives the book a lack of graphic continuity, although this is probably not important to the audience.
