'This single-volume new textbook on string theory will provide a solid and broad foundation to those who aspire to learn essential physical aspects on string theory with efficiency and depth. It is refreshing to see that this textbook contains lots of material which rarely appears in other string theory textbooks. This textbook is very helpful and pedagogical and it is strongly recommended for individuals and coursework.' Jihye Seo, Mathematical Reviews 'In recent years attempts to find a unified description of all physical phenomena have embraced not only one-dimensional strings but higher-dimensional membranes called 'branes'. Few are more qualified than Peter West to write an introduction to these fields - he does not disappoint. This masterly exposition provides an essential guide for graduate students and researchers.' Michael J. Duff, FRS, Imperial College London 'Peter West's Introduction to Strings and Branes has the same virtues that made his book on supersymmetry and supergravity such a resounding success: it is remarkably clear, self-contained and covers a lot of ground. After having mastered its content, the serious student will be well-equipped for research in the field.' Glenn Barnich, Universite Libre de BruxellesMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
