The study of proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs) leads to a better understanding of both the preceding asymptotic giant branch and the succeeding planetary nebula phases of stellar evolution. Recent results are reviewed, emphasizing the properties of the central stars and the shape and chemistry of the nebulae. The study of PPNs is seen to be important in its own right.
