String theory links

There's a String Theory Tutorial at UC Santa Barbara. You can also find a tutorial, links, and oddities at The Official String Theory Web Site. And there are many links at Superstrings! String Theory Links.

At the Amazon bookstore you can read a generous excerpt from our textbook. Here are reviews of the book:

• String theory for dummies
• Scientific American: Reviews: Aesthetic Science: April 1999
• New Scientist Planet Science: String's the thing

Here's Brian Greene's home page at Columbia University, and two short interviews:

• Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe
• Superstrings; an interview with Brian Greene

Here's David Morrison's home page at Duke University.

Here's a biographical sketch of Ed Witten. And, straight from the horse's mouth, here are his notes on Duality, Spacetime and Quantum Mechanics. You have been warned!

Here's a Scientific American article about M-theory and branes. On the same subject, John Schwarz at Caltech has written Superstring Revolution, part deux.

Finally, here is a list of some New York Times articles on physics. To read the Times online you need to register, but there is no charge.

• Quantum Theory Tugged, and All of Physics Unraveled
• How Is the Universe Built? Grain by Grain
• Physicists Finally Find a Way to Test Superstring Theory
• Almost in Awe, Physicists Ponder 'Ultimate' Theory
