The combined action of winds and ionizing radiation from massive stars leads to the formation of large wind-blown nebulae surrounding the star. The properties of these nebulae depend on the initial mass of the star and the stellar and wind parameters, as well as the structure and density of the surrounding medium. Using analytic and semi-analytic calculations, supplemented by numerical simulations where necessary, we study the structure, evolution and properties of these nebulae for stars of different initial mass. These results are compared with observational data for stars in various evolutionary phases.
