Recent years have brought a revival of work on string theory, which has been a source of fascination since its origins nearly twenty years ago.There seems to be a widely perceived need for a systematic, pedagogical exposition of the present state of knowledge about string theory. We hope that this book will help to meet this need. To give a comprehensive account of such a vast topic as string theory would scarcely be possible,even in two volumes with the length to which these have grown. Indeed,we have had to omit many important subjects, while treating others only sketchily. String field theory is omitted entirely (though the subject of chapter 11 is closely related to light-cone string field theory). Conformal field theory is not developed systematically, though much of the background material needed to understand recent papers on this subject is presented in chapter 3 and elsewhere.

超弦理论，毋庸置疑已经成为现代物理学最热门的前沿之一，格林等人编的这本《超弦理论》具有很高的权威性。虽然是英文影印版，但对喜好这方面的朋友来说，这本书值得一读。
期待小于大的统一理论，超弦理论。所有的基本粒子如果都是一条弦那世界是什么样子。推荐阅读。
书挺好的 而且是要搞弦论必读的书吧
没看 书的质量还行 听说是搞理论的人的经典
总算有这方面的书了，但不太看好这个理论，跳跃的过大
内容高深，暂时看不懂，以后慢慢理解吧。
学完Polchinski再看这本。
此书是witten的大作，世界上能读通的人，屈指可数
质量很好，英文的，勉强看
大牛经典没得说 可惜学计算机的看不大懂
在剑桥留学的时候读过，相当不错！
图书不错，最大拥有
很弦
对witten再多的褒扬都是不够充分的。
原版太贵，无奈只好买了这影印版，但字印的不太清晰，内容还是不错的。
还没看，本人理论基础差，补一补基础再看。
就是是英文的。。但是很不错。。
英文不是很好，但是这本书应该不错，世界图书出版公司的书应该不错。
超弦终于使物理学家们的脑袋远远不够用了，所以这种书应该买。相信上帝一定笑疯了，蚂蚁一样的人类居然想搞出终极理论，太狂妄了。
这是物理学的终极圣杯。我相信上帝不会忽视这美妙的理论的
