This NATO AS was the third in the series of Advanced Study
Institutes on neutron stars, which started with 'Timing Neutron
Stars', held in Qe me near izmir, Turkey (April 1988), followed by
'Neutron Stars, an Interdis ciplinary Subject', held in Agia
Pelagia on the island of Crete (September 1990). The first school
centered on our main observational access to neu tron stars, i. e.
the timing of radio pulsars and accretion powered neutron stars,
and on what timing of neutron stars teaches us of their structure
and environment. The second school had as its theme the interplay
between diverse areas of physics which find interesting, even
exotic applications in the extreme conditions of neutron stars and
their magnetospheres. As the field has developed, with the number
of observed neutron stars rapidly in creasing, and our knowledge of
many individual neutron stars getting deeper and more detailed, an
evolutionary picture of neutron stars has started to emerge. This
led us to choose 'The Lives of the Neutron Stars' as the uni fying
theme of this third Advanced Study Institute on neutron stars.
Different types of neutron star activity have been proposed to
follow one another in stages during the lives of neutron stars in
the same basic population; the evolutionary connection between
low-mass X-ray binaries and millisecond radio pulsars is perhaps
the prime example."
