String Theory and the Real World (Iop Concise Physics)

This book attempts to explain why string theory may provide the comprehensive underlying theory that describes and explains our world. It is an enthusiastic view of how compactified string/M-theories (plus data that may be reachable) seem to have the possibilities of leading to a comprehensive underlying theory of particle physics and cosmology perhaps soon. We are living in a hugely exciting era for science one during which it may be possible to achieve a real and true understanding of our physical world.
