Kevin Wray Intro to String Theory online book

I stumbled across this, could not find it mentioned on PF, so for anyone interested, I found this possibly promising book on string theory on the inet. I only just started on it myself, but I didn't want to forget to share it.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
