Chern-Simons Theory, Matrix Models, and Topological Strings by Marcos Marino

This book provides an introduction to some of the most recent developments in string theory, and in particular to their mathematical implications and their impact in knot theory and algebraic geometry.
The book gives a good overview of the developments in the field, in which its author has himself played an important roleThe book shows nicely how the different ideas are related, and how they can be combined to allow one to do very explicit calculations. * Marcel L. Vonk, Mathematical Reviews *
