內容簡介

　　Recent years have brought a revival of work on string theory, which has been a source of fascination since its origins nearly twenty years ago.There seems to be a widely perceived need for a systematic, pedagogical exposition of the present state of knowledge about string theory. We hope that this book will help to meet this need. To give a comprehensive account of such a vast topic as string theory would scarcely be possible,even in two volumes with the length to which these have grown. Indeed,we have had to omit many important subjects, while treating others only sketchily. String field theory is omitted entirely (though the subject of chapter 11 is closely related to light-cone string field theory). Conformal field theory is not developed systematically, though much of the background material needed to understand recent papers on this subject is presented in chapter 3 and elsewhere.

評分☆☆☆☆☆

書的質量勉強吧，基本是油印，算不得影印。封皮太薄，果然是普通版。但是對於弦理論的知識來說，值得這個價瞭，英文版。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

書挺好的。印刷挺清楚的。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

一直很想買的書，但書的質量感覺不太好

古希臘時，柏拉圖學院的門口戳瞭快牌子“不懂幾何的彆進來”。柏老師意思很簡單：我這兒是講道理的地方，你丫要是妄想像中國人那樣鬍攪蠻纏，哪涼快哪呆著去！當然你非要把這塊牌子理解成“華人與狗不得入內”，我也找不齣反駁的理由，因為普遍地說中國人至今還沒認同講道理是構成文明的一個根本要素。柏老師這種對基本數學和邏輯知識的尊重的傳統至今還保留在西方教育係統中。
