This text represents the sense of discoveries that have been made related to solar wind. The data describes an often surprising and unanticipated behaviour of the high latitude solar wind and give the reader a sense of what the solar wind really looks like away from the ecliptic, all the way up to the pllar region of our sun. There is an emphasis on the understanding of the physical phenomena, as opposed to the presentation of (new) data without attempts at interpretation. It covers a range of areas in solar and stellar wind research, including coronal sources, composition, structures, dynamics, and the interaction with the local interstellar medium. It is aimed atastrophysicists and plasma physicists.
