Praise for the previous edition:

“What sets this book apart from other recent and older texts on string theory is that, while providing the level of detail in the derivation of all central results that is necessary for an introductory textbook, Kiritsis maintains a brisk and steady pace, and also includes a colloquial discussion of new concepts at the beginning of every section”—Johannes Walcher, Mathematical Reviews

“This textbook on string theory presents the state of the art of this quickly developing topic.”—Hans-Jürgen Schmidt, Zentralblatt MATH
“An excellent reference for any graduate student interested in string theory. Kiritsis succinctly describes many of the recent developments that are necessary background to current research.”—Juan Maldacena, Institute for Advanced Study
“There is a definite need for a short, speedy introduction to modern string theory. Kiritsis beautifully fills this gap—including all essential areas, but remaining relatively concise, so that a beginning student can work through the entire text.”—Andrew Strominger, Harvard University

Elias Kiritsis is director of research at the French National Center for Scientific Research and professor of physics at the University of Crete.
