Abstract
This paper contains an introductionary review of the theory of stellar wind bubbles. I describe the basic difference between radiative and adiabatic b ubbles, the effects a central photo-ionizing source may have and in some mo re detail how these concepts can be used to explain the formation of Planet ary Nebulae.
