Strings, Conformal Fields, and M-Theory [E-Book] / by Michio Kaku.
String theory continues to progress at an astonishing rate, and this book brings the reader up to date with the latest developments and the most active areas of research in the field. Building on the foundations laid in his Introduction to Superstrings and M Theory, Professor Kaku discusses such top...
