Sinossi

The main focus of this book is the recent progress in the very active areas of superstring theory, quantum gravity and the theory of elementary particles. It covers topical problems in such domains as duality between gravity and gauge interactions, string field theory, tachyon condensation, non-commutative field theory, string cosmology and string phenomenology. Some presentations give an elementary introduction to their subject, while others are geared to the specialist.
