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