Strings, Conformal Fields, and M-Theory (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics) (2nd ed. 2000. XV, 531 p. w. 48 ill. 24 cm)

Building on the foundations laid in his Introduction to Superstrings and M Theory, Professor Kaku discusses such topics as the classification of conformal string theories, knot theory, the Yang-Baxter relation, quantum groups, and the insights into 11-dimensional strings recently obtained from M-theory.
