Superstring
Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension
Michio Kaku
Oxford University Press, USA
, 1994
Modern Mathematics and Modern Physics
The central challenge of theoretical physics today is to unify the four fundamental forces--the electromagnetic force (electricity, magnetism, and light), the strong nuclear force (provides the energy that fuels the star, fusion), the weak nuclear force (governs ...
Beyond Einstein: The Cosmic Quest for the Theory of the Universe
Michio Kaku
Anchor
, 1995
i love this guy!
this book is useful and informative, if a little stiff. he's writing to an audience that's already forgotten more about the subjuct than i'll ever know, but i still enjoyed it. i think he genuinely enjoys his work and the subject, and that really comes thru. i'd ...
The Visual Guide To Extra Dimensions: The Physics Of The Fourth Dimension, Compactification, And Current And ...
Chris McMullen Ph.D.

, 2009
This is a wonderful set!
I ordered this for my son who just "graduated" from the first grade and is passionate about all things 4D as well as the Platonic and Archimedean solids...this is what he begged for as a reward for moving on to the 2nd grade :-) I have enjoyed reading it to him...it ...
Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos
Michio Kaku
Anchor
, 2006
Very interesting read
I found Michio Kaku's "Parallel Worlds" to be the best book that I have so far read on the subject of M-Theory/String Theory. The information is presented in an unusually readable format, and Kaku's writing style is enjoyable. This book also touches on more subjects ...
The Universe- Order Without Design
Carlos I. Calle
Prometheus Books
, 2009
A guided tour into the heart of the universe
Disclosure: I am the author's son. As you might imagine, the son of a physicist hears a lot about cosmology and astrophysics. I still remember a shirt my dad used to wear when I was 6 years old that had the following poem on it: "This is the way the world ...
String Theory For Dummies
Andrew Zimmerman Jones
For Dummies
, 2009
Lucidly written, comprehensive, and entertaining
Andrew Zimmerman Jones, who is the Physics Guide for About.com, does a fabulous job of making the most complex scientific theory ever devised absolutely understandable. This is a first-rate introduction to the field. One would almost think it impossible to make ...
String Theory, Vol. 2 (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)
Joseph Polchinski
Cambridge University Press
, 2005
Perfect book!
Reading this book is the easiest way to become familiar with various topics that seemed to be extremely difficult before. The reader then shouldn't have any problems with understanding current research papers.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to String Theory
George Musser
Alpha
, 2008
Excellent Introduction to High-Energy Physics
This is an extremely good introduction to a very complicated subject that will be of great use to those with limited knowledge of string theory and, more generally, high-energy physics. The book successfully gives a conceptual description of a somewhat esoteric area ...
String Theory, Vol. 1 (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)
Joseph Polchinski
Cambridge University Press
, 2005
Enlightening text on a murky topic
This book succeeds in what seems to be the impossible. It actually presents a clear, up to date, and entertaining version of a field that is still very much in a state of active research and is still, after all these years, on quite uncertain ground. By studying ...
The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory
Brian Greene
W. W. Norton & Company
, 2003
Reading it now.
I just wanted to say that this book is great. I am a newcomer to physics and string theory and so far I have been able to gain a grasp on the concepts rather quickly. Brian Greene explains them in ways that are easy to visualize and understand. His vocabulary is ...
Superstring Theory: Volume 2, Loop Amplitudes, Anomalies and Phenomenology (Cambridge Monographs on ...

John H. Schwarz

Cambridge University Press
, 1987
A legendary text, by legends of the 'field'
This is a quintessential text for anyone who wishes to master the area of String Theory. I would say however it is not an introductory text but something one refers to after one has a rudimentary background in Quantum Field Theory as well as string theory; it is well ...
Superstrings and Other Things: A Guide to Physics, Second Edition
Carlos I. Calle
Taylor & Francis
, 2009
A very useful overview of physics
Written by a NASA scientist, this book tells the story of physics from the early Greeks to the present scientific discoveries. The basic concepts of physics are explained and illustrated with helpful diagrams and photographs. Newtonian and Galilean physics, the laws of ...
Dirichlet Branes and Mirror Symmetry (Clay Mathematics Monographs)
Tom Bridgeland, Alastair Craw, Michael R. Douglas, Mark Gross, Anton Kapustin, Gregory W. Moore, Graeme Segal, Balazs Szendroi, and P.M.H. Wilson Paul S. Aspinwall
American Mathematical Society, Clay Mathematics Institute
, 2009
Research in string theory over the last several decades has yielded a rich interaction with algebraic geometry. In 1985, the introduction of Calabi-Yau manifolds into physics as a way to compactify ten-dimensional space-time has led to exciting cross-fertilization between physics and mathematics, especially with the discovery of mirror symmetry in ...
The New Ambidextrous Universe: Symmetry and Asymmetry from Mirror Reflections to Superstrings: Third Revised ...
Martin Gardner
Dover Publications
, 2005
Wonderful, but somewhat out-of-date (only at the end).
I think that THE NEW AMBIDEXTROUS UNIVERSE (1990) is a wonderful book on symmetry and asymmetry in the worlds of everyday life, chemistry, physics, and unification theories. Everything in this book is noteworthy, and also up-to-date except for the last few chapters. ...
Our Superstring Universe: Strings, Branes, Extra Dimensions and Superstring-M Theory
Jr. L. E. Lewis
iUniverse, Inc.
, 2003
Much better than expected.
This book is very well written and it gets right down to the point. It is, also, very clear in concept with only a few points here and there that might have needed a better explanation. This is only an introductory edition, and if more in-depth knowledge is needed I ...
