The underlying astrophysical mechanisms of the objects known as
asymptotic giant branch stars - the structures that occur during
the dramatic period prior to a star's death - is the main theme of
this text. Over the past three decades, asymptotic giant branch
stars have become a topic of their own, and the contributions to
this volume all focus on these entities themselves, rather than
their connections to other fields of astronomy. Among the many
topics covered are new methods of high- quality infrared
observation and the more detailed and realistic simulations made
possible by increasingly fast computers. This collection should be
useful to graduate students who work in the field, teachers who
want to address the subject in their courses, and to astronomers
from various backgrounds who are interested in the astrophysics of
AGB stars.
