"A primer on string theory" Description:

The Open Library:

Since its conception in the 1960s, string theory has been hailed as one of the most promising routes we have to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. This book provides a concise introduction to string theory, explaining central concepts and mathematical tools and covering recent developments in physics, including compactifications and gauge/string dualities. With string theory being a multidisciplinary field interfacing with high-energy physics, mathematics, and quantum field theory, this book is ideal for both students with no previous knowledge of the field and scholars from other disciplines who are looking for an introduction to basic concepts. -- from back cover.
