The little book of string theory
This book is a short introduction to one of the most talked-about areas of physics today covering strings, branes, string dualities, extra dimensions, curved spacetime, quantum fluctuations, symmetry, and supersymmetry. Find out why dancing the waltz is similar to contemplating a string duality and what it would be like to fall into a black hole as well as how Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu relates to quantum mechanics.
