"Volume 1 gives a thorough introduction to the bosonic string, based on the Polyakov path integral and conformal field theory. 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. The volume closes with an appendix giving a short course on path integral methods, followed by annotated references, and a detailed glossary" - Publisher's description. Corner bump.

More than ten years ago. My memories of my student years were much more vivid than they are today. Still. I remember that one of the greatest pleasures was finding a text that made a difficult subject accessible. and I hoped to provide the same for string theory. Thus. my first purpose was to give a coherent introduction to string theo.
