- Summary
- "This book provides a quick introduction to the rudiments of perturbative string theory and a detailed introduction to the more current topic of D-brane dynamics. The presentation is very pedagogical, with much of the technical detail streamlined. The material is based on mini-courses delivered by the author at various summer schools in theoretical high energy physics."--BOOK JACKET.
