A review of recent work on pulsating A stars is presented. The types of pulsating stars are the roAp, $\delta$ Scuti, $\lambda$ Bootis, Am stars, pre-Main Sequence pulsating A stars and $\alpha$ Cygni stars (pulsating A supergiants). Population II pulsating A stars such as SX Phe (blue stragglers) and RR Lyraes are also discussed. The emphasis is on the physics that can be derived from the study of stellar pulsations and suggestions for further progress.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
