| Title | Elements of string cosmology |
| Author(s) | Maurizio Gasperini |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2007. |
| Description | xv, 552p. |
| Abstract Note | The standard cosmological picture of our Universe emerging from a 'big bang' leaves open many fundamental questions which string theory, a unified theory of all forces of nature, should be able to answer. The first book dedicated to string cosmology, it contains a pedagogical introduction to the basic notions of the subject. It describes the new possible scenarios suggested by string theory for the primordial evolution of our Universe. It discusses the main phenomenological consequences of these scenarios, stresses their differences from each other, and compares them to the more conventional models of inflation. The book summarises over 15 years of research in this field and introduces current advances. It is self-contained, so it can be read by astrophysicists with no knowledge of string theory, and high-energy physicists with little understanding of cosmology. Detailed and explicit derivations of all the results presented provide a deeper appreciation of the subject. |

| Title | Supersymmetry and string theory: Beyond the standard model |
| Author(s) | Michael Dine |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2007. |
| Description | 515p.+As the book was going to press, there were important developments in a number of these subjects. The website http://scipp.ucsc.edu/~dine/book/book.html will contain updates, errata, solutions of selected problems and additional selected reading |
| Contents Note | The first part of the text is a review of the Standard Model. It is meant to complement existing books, providing an introduction to perturbation and phenomenological aspects of the theory, but with a lenghty introduction to non-perturbative issues, especially in the strong interactions. The goal is to provide an understanding of chiral symmetry breaking, anomalies and instantons, suitable for thinking about possible strong dynamics, and about dynamical issues in super-symmetric theories. The first part also introduces grand unification and magnetic monopoles.
The second part of the book focuses on supersymmetry. In addition to global supersymmetry in superspace, there is a study of the supersymmetry currents, which are important for the understanding dynamics, and also for understanding the BPS conditions which play an important role in field theory and string theory dualities.
The third part of the book is an introduction to string theory. |

| Title | Trouble with physics : The rise of string theory, the fall of a science, and what comes next |
| Author(s) | Lee Smolin |
| Publication | Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 2006. |
| Description | xxiii, 392p. |
| Contents Note | In this book author argues that physisc has lost its way. For more than two centuries, our understanding of the laws of nature expanded rapidly. But despite our best efforts, we know nothing more about these laws than we knew in the 1970s. He says one of the major problems is string theory: an ambitious attempt of formulate a "Theory of everything" that explains all the particles and forces of nature and how the universe came to be but there's a deep flaw in the theory: no part of it has been tested, and no one knows how to test it. A group of young theorists has begun to develop exciting ideas that, unlike string theory, are testable. |
