Flow-induced vibrations are a very interesting subject from theoretical point of view, and are also very important in practical engineering. The interest from the theoretical point of view follows from the fact that there are several different instability mechanisms which may result in flow-excited oscillations (for example, vortex shedding, galloping, turbulence buffeting, fluid-elastic instability, wave motion etc.). In practical problems usually more than one of these excitations may be present, which complicates a theoretical analysis considerably. The resulting complex dynamical excitation of engineering structures can have catastrophic consequences as it was observed, for example, in the spectacular breakdown of Tacoma Narrow Bridge in the State of Washington in 1940. The book under review contributes to the understanding of such phenomena by presenting a collection of five articles. The titles and authors are: Chapter 1 ``Vibrations induced by vortex shedding by \textit{P. Anagnostopoulos}; Chapter 2 ``Mathematical models for vortex-induced vibrations of beams by \textit{A. R. Massih} and \textit{K. Forsberg}; Chapter 3 ``Galloping of slender bodies by \textit{M. Pirner} and \textit{O. Fischer}; Chapter 4 ``Fluid-elastic instabilities of cylinder arrays in cross-flow: an investigation of the use of Connors' equation by \textit{S. J. Price}, and Chapter 5 ``Dynamics of rotor-flow coupled system by J. Antunes. The articles, all well written in engineering style, are mainly intended to give an engineer working in this field an overview on the latest developements of the subject, but are also well suited to serve as an introduction for readers who want to get in contact and get acquainted with this fascinating field. Extensive literature citations are given, and also several new aspects, not to be found in textbooks on the subject, are addressed. For example, the important problem how to extinguish or prevent flow-induced vibrations is described by explaining the way how various qualitatively different types of absorbers work.
