This book presents a systematic and detailed account of the
classical and quantum theory of the relativistic string and some of
its modifications. Main attention is paid to the first-quantized
string theory with possible applications to the string models of
hadrons as well as to the superstring approach to unifications of
all the fundamental interactions in the elementary particle physics
and to the "cosmic" strings. Some new aspects are provided such as
the consideration of the string in an external electromagnetic
field and in the space-time of constant curvature (the de Sitter
universe), the relativistic string loaded by point-like masses and
the Cartan method for describing the classical string dynamics. The
relativistic membranes and p-branes are also considered briefly.
The book is sufficiently self-contained and can be considered as an
introduction to this new and fast developing branch of the
elementary particle physics.
