Overview

The rapid progress in research on mass-losing pulsating stars has now taken us far from its early photographic light variation study to the world of massive photometry and interferometic observations. However, some fundamental problems - such as the pulsational mode and the mass-loss mechanism - remain a mystery. In this volume modern theoretical works are confronted with up-to-date observations, while active discussions indicate the directions of future research. Among the subjects presented in this workshop are: results of massive photometry; pulsation and properties of mass-losing stars; optical and infrared observations of circumstellar matter; radio and mm observations of circumstellar matter; distribution of maser sources in the Galaxy; and VERA and other future projects.

AGB variables are far more interesting than I had previously thought. I don't hesitate to recommend this book, not only to those specifically involved with those stars, but also to those in the related fields of pulsation and/or mass loss, and even to a more-general readership. <br>(Rich Townsend in The Observatory, 124: 1178 (February 2004)
