Abstract
For many decades astronomers have realized that some stars lose mass in the catastrophic events that produce supernovae, ordinary novae, and planetary nebulae. Only recently have we learned that less conspicuous mass-loss processes occur throughout much of the lifetimes of most normal stars. My purpose in this Introduction is to summarize briefly the kinds of evidence we have for this conclusion; also what can be said about the properties of the various kinds of flow, and about their significance relative to stellar evolution.
