Summary

The proceedings of IAU S346 includes reviews on many aspects of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), connecting the relatively mature field of massive binary astrophysics and the emerging field of gravitational wave astronomy. Giving an overview of current research activity on HMXBs, it is essential reading for graduate students and researchers.
