The book is dedicated to the memory of Professor Nicolaas H. Kuiper, who died on December 12, 1994. Kuiper made major contributions to the field of tight and taut submanifolds over an extended period of time. In particular, his technique of the analysis of topsets became an essential tool in almost all work in the area of tight immersions and maps. The book begins with a short description of Kuiper’s life and work, written by Thomas Banchoff. Six of the seven subsequent articles cover various parts of the broad field of tight and taut submanifolds. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography of the field compiled by Wolfgang Kühnel and Thomas Cecil, a list of Kuiper’s publications, and one of his doctoral students. (Zentralblatt)
