Scientific paper

The class of cataclysmic variables called Polars, or AM Her systems, is
comprehensively reviewed. Each part of these systems, from the two
underlying stars, to the accretion region and the stream, is considered
in turn. New developments in the understanding of the accretion region
are outlined in some detail.
