String Theory comprises two volumes which give a comprehensive and
pedagogic account of the subject. Volume 1, first published in
1998, provides a thorough introduction to the bosonic string. The
first four chapters introduce the central ideas of string theory,
the tools of conformal field theory and of the Polyakov path
integral, and the covariant quantization of the string. The next
three chapters treat string interactions: the general formalism,
and detailed treatments of the tree level and one loop amplitudes.
Chapter eight covers toroidal compactification and many important
aspects of string physics, such as T-duality and D-branes. Chapter
nine treats higher-order amplitudes, including an analysis of their
finiteness and unitarity, and various nonperturbative ideas. An
appendix giving a short course on path integral methods is
included. This is an essential text and reference for graduate
students and researchers interested in modern superstring theory.
