From the book reviews:

"I found this text ... quite enjoyable and filled with valuable information. I would recommend that researchers working in fields that rely on inverse spectral analysis read this book. ... it was a joy to read, and it presented enough information to gain an appreciation of the topics covered. Experienced researchers will appreciate this text, and those who wish to learn the techniques of this field will get an introduction to relevant topics with the help of cited references." (David R. Bergman, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 19 (3), 2014)

"This volume is edited from the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) course under the same title, held in Udine, Italy, on May 25-29, 2009. ... It is intended for advanced graduate students and researchers in civil and mechanic engineering and applied mathematics." (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, February, 2012)
