The third yearbook of the Astronomische Gesellschaft contains 19 contributions dedicated to the topic of accretion and winds. Modern developments in accretion-disk theory are presented and accretion disks are considered in close binaries, cataclysmic variables, neutron stars and galaxies. Stellar winds are discussed in the context of hot, late-type, Wolf-Rayet, supergiant, young and variable stars. In addition, the book contains review papers in the fields of helioseismology, the interstellar medium, supernova remnants and a personal perspective of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope.
