This is the most recent and complete review on giant resonances in nuclei. It includes electric as well as magnetic collective states and a detailed discussion on the excitation mechanisms and the decay properties is given.
Theory of giant resonances, J. Speth and J. Wambach; the electric giant resonances, A. van der Woude; decay of giant resonances, K.T. Knoepfle and G.J. Wagner; giant magnetic resonances, S. Raman, L.W. Fagg and R.S. Hicks; giant Gamow-Teller resonances, F. Osterfeld.
