Abstract
The available observational evidence about stellar winds and mass loss is briefly reviewed, and its implications for stellar evolution are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on post-main sequence evolution of low-mass and intermediate-mass stars, including the final evolution from red giant to the white dwarf stage. For massive stars, as well as for the implications of stellar mass loss for supernovae and supernova remnants, the reader is referred to other recent review papers.
It is shown that evolutionary models, including mass loss at a rate consistent with the empirical one, provide a more satisfactory account than do constant mass evolutionary models.
