Abstract

We start by looking at some recent developments in field measurements in middle main sequence and pre-main sequence stars. Then we consider how other magnetic effects such as the Hanle effect and continuum polarisation may be used to detect fields in a variety of stellar environments such as the solar corona and white dwarf atmospheres. Finally we consider how the current body of observational knowledge about magnetic stars may be integrated into a roughly coherent, provisional scenario of field origin and evolution.
