Barton Zwiebach is once again faithful to his goal of making string
theory accessible to undergraduates. Complete and thorough in its
coverage, the author presents the main concepts of string theory in
a concrete and physical way in order to develop intuition before
formalism, often through simplified and illustrative examples.
This new edition now includes AdS/CFT correspondence, which is the
hottest area of string theory right now as well as introducing
superstrings. The text is perfectly suited to introductory courses
in string theory for students with a background in mathematics and
physics. New sections cover strings on orbifolds, cosmic strings,
moduli stabilization, and the string theory landscape.
