Superstring Theory: 25th Anniversary Edition by Michael B. Green, John H. Schwarz and Edward Witten is an English-language textbook that clearly lays out the fundamentals of superstring theory. This reference work is intended for students and researchers in physics, with a focus on theoretical and particle physics.
The book offers a self-contained introduction to superstring theory, starting with the bosonic string and expanding to include fermionic degrees of freedom and internal quantum numbers that lead to supersymmetry and gauge interactions. In addition, it discusses the evaluation of scattering amplitudes within the tree-level approximation.
The anniversary edition includes a new introduction that places the content in the perspective of recent developments in the field. This makes it an indispensable study book for graduate students and researchers in the areas of general relativity and elementary particles.
