More than two centuries have elapsed since the story of the
interacting binary stars began with the rediscovery of the
variability of Algol by John Goodricke and the interpretation he
proposed for explaining the regular periodic brightness variations
which he found. Over this long span of time our knowledge about
these systems has been growing, and we have now reached a fairly
good understanding of the structure and behavior of this
interesting group of objects. This book contains a timely summary
of our present knowledge of interacting binary stars. The chapters
have been written by distinguished scientists who have done
relevant research in the field of interacting binary stars.
