Inhaltsangabe

This comprehensive tutorial introduces the development of, and current trends in, superstring theory, a significant and still controversial attempt to unify general relativity and quantum field theory. Intended for graduate students with a year of quantum mechanics and familiarity with relativistic methods, the book makes these exciting developments available to physicists, mathematicians, and others for the first time in one volume. Stressing current areas of research activity, the text addresses all relevant topics including string field theory, multi-loops and Teichmuller spaces, conformal field theory, and four-dimensional superstrings.
