About this ebook
Superstrings - provocative, controversial, possibly untestable, but unarguably one of the most interesting and active areas of research in current physics. Called by some, "the theory of everything", superstrings may solve a problem which has eluded physicists for the past 50 years - the final unification of the two great theories of the twentieth century, general relativity and quantum field theory. Now, here is a course-tested comprehensive introductory graduate text on superstrings which stresses the most current areas of interest, not covered in other presentation, including: - string field theory - multi loops - Teichmueller spaces - conformal field theory - four-dimensional strings The book begins with a simple discussion of point particle theory, and uses the Feynman path integral technique to unify the presentation of superstrings. Prerequisites are an aquaintance with quantum mechanics and relativity. This second edition has been revised and updated throughout.

Introduction to Superstrings by Michio Kaku is a comprehensive introduction to one of modern physics' most ambitious theories. The book explains how superstring theory seeks to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity into a single framework. Though mathematically demanding, it presents advanced concepts with clarity and covers key developments in the field. An excellent resource for graduate students and readers with a strong background in theoretical physics.

A digital copy costing $103 is ridiculous. I'll buy it when the price drops or I hit the lottery. (I have a physical copy, and it's great)
