    This is a very useful review about exact solutions in a quickly developing field: higher-dimensional cosmological models. This is insofar very useful, as the literature often uses different words for the same models, like string, brane, Kaluza-Klein, sigma model, and pre-geometry models. Besides classical solutions, also some quantum models are discussed.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEFrom the differential geometric point of view, most of the considered space-times represent warped products between 4-dimensional space-time and some further ``inner space''. This review paper contains a reference list of 211 items, mainly from the year 1995 till 1999.
