Planetary nebulae present a fascinating range of shapes and
morphologies. They are ideal laboratories for the study of
different astrophysical processes: atomic physics, radiative
transfer, stellar winds, shocks, wind-wind interaction, and the
interaction between stellar winds and the interstellar medium. In
addition, planetary nebulae provide information about the late
stages of stellar evolution. In the last five years studies of
planetary nebulae have progressed very rapidly and new phenomena
and insights have been gained. This is partly due to new
observations (e.g. from the Hubble Space Telescope, the ISO
satellite and new infrared and millimeter spectrographs) and partly
to the advancement of hydrodynamic simulations of the structures of
planetary nebulae (PN). Many of these new results were reported at
IAU Symposium 180 in Groningen, the Netherlands, on August 26 to
30, 1996. This symposium was dedicated to one of the pioneers of PN
research: Stuart Pottasch. These proceedings contain chapters on:
Introduction to PN with the basic parameters Distances of PN The
central stars of PN The envelopes of PN The evolution from AGB to
PN The evolution from PN to white dwarfs PN in the galactic context
PN in extragalactic systems The future of PN research . The book
contains 29 reviews and more than 200 shorter contributions.
