String Theory is our current best candidate for the unification of all fundamental forces, including gravity, in a consistent quantum framework. In this collection of lectures delivered at the Cargèse Summer School "String Theory: from Gauge Interactions to Cosmology’’, world leading experts provide an up-to-date survey of the latest developments in this topic, including the gauge/gravity correspondence, superstring cosmology and cosmic strings, topological string theory and matrix models, physics beyond the standard model and the landscape of vacua of string theory, conformal fie

The main focus of this book is the recent progress in the very active areas of superstring theory, quantum gravity and the theory of elementary particles. It covers topical problems in such domains as duality between gravity and gauge interactions, string field theory, tachyon condensation, non-commutative field theory, string cosmology and string phenomenology. Some presentations give and elementary introduction to their subject, while others are geared to the specialist.

If you’ve held back from developing open source or free software projects because you don’t understand the implications of the various licenses, you’re not alone. Many developers believe in releasing their software freely, but have hesitated to do so because they’re concerned about losing control over their software. Licensing issues are complicated, and both the facts and fallacies you hear word-of-mouth can add to the confusion. Understanding Open Source and Free Software Licensing helps you make sense of the different options available to you. This conci

Customer Reviews: Hopefully an English translation soon   April 25, 2006M. Buisman (Amsterdam, NL)This book by French journalist Laurent is very informative. It gives a detailed description of the ties between the Bushes and Bin Ladens, but not in the funny and slanted Michael Moore way or the sometimes overpopular style of Kitty Kelley. Besides the gruesome ties between the oilmen in Texas and the Middle East there are some chapters on the Bush government and its hawks. It’s now quite old so some members of cabinet have already left, but their role is still clear. IR

We are surrounded by new musical encounters today as never before, and the experience of musics from elsewhere is progressively affecting all arenas of the human conscience. Yet, why is it that Western listeners expect a certain cultural and ethnic ’authenticity’ or ’otherness’ from visiting artists in world music, while contemporary musicians in Western music are no longer bound by such restraints? Should we feel uncomfortable when sacred rites from Asia or Africa are remade for Westerners as musical entertainment? As these thorny questions suggest, the great flood of
