Unity from Duality: Gravity, Gauge Theory and Strings Les Houches Session LXXVI, July 30 - August 31, 2001
In a distilled and pedagogical fashion, the contributions to this volume of the famous summer school in Les Houches cover the recent developments in supersymmetric string theory, the gauge theory/string theory correspondence and string duality. Further chapters deal with quantum gravity and D-brane...
