[http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8456.html '''String Theory in a nutshell''']<br><br />
by Elias Kiritsis, (Princeton University Press, 2007, [http://users.physics.uoc.gr/~kiritsis/string-book/index.html Errata])<br><br />
This book is an up to date presentation of the main parts of modern string theory, targeting <br />
specialized students and postdocs entering or working in string theory.<br />
It contains also a large set of problems, as well as chapters on black-hole microstate counting, matrix models and an extendent<br />
exposition of the AdS/CFT correspondence. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''String Theory and M-Theory'''<br><br />
by Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker and John Schwarz (CUP, 2006)<br />
<br />
'''A First Course in String Theory'''<br><br />
by Barton Zwiebach, (CUP, 2003)<br><br />
This book is intended for the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. No familiarity with quantum field theory is assumed (although Zwiebach does assume a working knowledge of quantum mechanics). It focuses on the study of single<br />
strings and their interactions, which can be understood in some<br />
detail. Of necessity, however, it is impossible to address many<br />
advanced topics.<br />
<br />
'''String Theory'''<br><br />
'''Volume 1: An Introduction to the Bosonic String'''<br><br />
'''Volume 2: Superstring Theory and Beyond'''<br><br />
by Joe Polchinski (two volumes, CUP, 1998, [http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/~joep/errata.html errata])<br><br />
This book addresses the discoveries of the<br />
superstring revolutions of the early to mid 1990s, which mark the<br />
beginnings of modern string theory. Volume 1 quantises the<br />
bosonic string and uses this setting to introduce T-duality and<br />
D-branes without the complications of fermions. The first three chapters of volume 2 <br />
introduce superstrings, but quickly move beyond. The rest of<br />
the second book provides an introduction to nearly all modern string<br />
topics pre-dating the AdS/CFT duality. In particular, it includes D-branes,<br />
Orbifolds, Black Hole Entropy, and Mirror symmetry.<br><br />
Some of the errata were corrected in the reprinting in 2000.<br><br />
[http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.4408 A solution manual for Polchinski&#x27;s &quot;String Theory&quot;]<br><br />
by Matthew Headrick (0812.4408 [hep-th], 114 pages)<br />
<br />
'''Superstring Theory'''<br><br />
'''Volume 1: Introduction'''<br><br />
'''Volume 2: Loop Amplitudes, Anomalies and Phenomenology'''<br><br />
by Michael Green, John Schwarz and Edward Witten (two volumes, CUP, 1988)<br><br />
Volume 1 is the first of a classic two-volume string text by founders in the field. Though there are now many more modern<br />
texts, it containing many details that more recent texts<br />
must skim through to discuss modern topics. Volume 1 is concerned mainly with the free string, though it treats both bosonic and supersymmetric versions. Volume 2 addresses the details of loop<br />
calculations, but also discusses low-energy effective theories (in particular, supergravity) and compactifications (especially on Calabi-Yau manifolds). <br />
<br />
'''Supersymmetry and String Theory: Beyond the Standard Model'''<br><br />
by Michael Dine (CUP, 2007)<br />
<br />
'''Gravity and Strings'''<br><br />
by Tom&aacute;s Ort&iacute;n (CUP, 2004)<br />
<br />
[http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9709062 Introduction to Superstring Theory]<br><br />
by E. Kiritsis (Leuven University Press, 1998, hep-th/9709062, 244 pages, 22 figures)<br><br />
Also available from the arXiv. Kiritsis provides a pedagogical introduction starting with the point particle and the bosonic string, and <br />
then proceeds through conformal<br />
field theory and the superstring. Advanced topics treated include T- duality, anomalies, compactification and supersymmetry breaking, <br />
loop corrections, and non-perturbative dualities.<br />
<br />
'''Lectures on String Theory'''<br><br />
by D. L&uuml;st and S. Theisen (Springer-Verlag, 1989)<br><br />
This very useful text features a short route to the superstring and includes an excellent treatment of the heterotic string.<br />
<br />
'''Quantum Field Theory of Point Particles and Strings'''<br><br />
by B. Hatfield (Perseus Publishing, 1998)<br><br />
An updated version of Hatfield's 1992 book, the first half quickly reviews quantum field theory while the second introduces the very basics of strings.<br />
<br />
'''Gauge fields and Strings'''<br><br />
by A. M. Polyakov (Harwood Academic Publishers, 1987)<br><br />
This classic work uses a detailed treatment of quantum field theory in terms of first-quantized particles to make a natural transition to the first quantized string. Details of path-integral measures and other fundamentals are well-presented.<br />
<br />
'''Introduction to Superstrings and M-Theory'''<br><br />
by M. Kaku (Springer Verlag, 1999)<br><br />
This updated version of an earlier text begins with the basics and, after some development, addresses advanced topics such as compactifications and M-theory. As a one-volume text, it cannot be comprehensive and, as a result, has a rather light discussion of D-branes.<br />
<br />
'''Strings, Conformal Fields, and M-Theory'''<br><br />
by M. Kaku (Springer Verlag, 2000)<br><br />
The intent of this text is to build on ''Introduction to Superstrings and M-theory'', addressing a number of more modern topics and illustrating the relationship to a broad range of related topics.<br />
