This volume attempts a uniform interpretation of the Bipolar-Flow family, involving extremely relativistic pair prisma as the jet substance, and rotating magnets (possibly burning disks) as the Central Engines. Among the discussed sources are SS 433, YSO jets, Planetary Nebulae, our Galactic Center, and the class of extragalactic QSOs, both radio-loud and radio-quiet.
