 Abstract
     Giant Resonances give us the information on the collective
     vibrational modes of nuclear excitations.  Like other quantum 
     system, each excitation mode of Giant Resonance is specified by 
     a few quantum numbers including angular momentum, spin and also 
     the isospin peculiar to nuclear system.  In an actual nucleus, 
     various modes overlap to each other in their excitation energies.  
     Also a nucleus shows a specific response against each different 
     type of interaction exciting the nucleus.  Thus various 
     selectivities should be exerted to observe and also to study 
     a specific mode of Giant Resonance.  The findings and 
     characteristics of Giant Resonances are reviewed stressing how 
     the variety of reactions, methods and techniques have been 
     effectively used in the study of various unique aspects of Giant 
     Resonances.
