From the reviews:

"... because of its wide range in topics, it becomes extremely handy as a 'reference manual'... Kaku's book covers most of the 'hot topics' from the period 1985 through 1996 in a concise but still quite complete way, it fulfills this task in a superb way.„ Physicalia

An Introduction

von Michio Kaku

Following on the foundations laid in his earlier book „Introduction to Superstrings“, Professor Kaku discusses such topics as the classification of conformal string theories, the non-polynomial closed string field theory, matrix models, and topological field theory. The presentation of the material is self-contained, and several chapters review material expounded in the earlier book. This book provides students with an understanding of the main areas of current progress in string theory, placing the reader at the forefront of current research.
