This multi-author textbook provides a comprehensive understanding of the Stewart approach to acid-base. The book consists of 30 chapters grouped under three sections. Section 1 is a reproduction of Peter Stewart s original work 9 chapters section 2 is a detailed primer on quantitative acidbase chemistry 8 chapters and the third section deals with the clinical applications of the Stewart approach 13 chapters . Retaining Stewart s original masterly work represents one of the highlights of the book. In the new section the coverage is broad and certain chapters such as those on intracellular H buffers and the use of the Stewart model at the bedside are exceedingly well written. The chapters on the Stewart approach during pregnancy and a review of comparative animal physiology are useful additions. However criticisms can be made. Important errors of fact have slipped through the proofreading process along with some controversial assertions. To illustrate Table The normal plasma ionized calcium concentration is reported as 1 mEq L which is equivalent to mmol L. The normal plasma ionized calcium concentration ranges from to mmol L. Similarly the generic intracellular fluid ICF calcium concentration is reported as 35 mEq L which is equivalent to L. This is exceedingly high. The intracellular Ca is of the order of nanomoles per litre. Table
