Abstract

I review the development of ideas regarding the angular momentumevolution of solar-type stars, from the early 60's to the most recentyears. Magnetic fields are the central agent that dictates therotational evolution of solar-type stars, both during the pre-mainsequence, through star-disk magnetic coupling, and during the mainsequence, through magnetized winds. Key theoretical developments aswell as important observational results are summarized in this review.
