Book on Black Holes, Strings, AdS/CFT

In summary, the speaker is looking for a book similar to Susskind's "An Introduction To Black Holes, Information And The String Theory Revolution: The Holographic Universe" but less condensed. They are open to suggestions and hope for a book that explains the same concepts in a more pedagogical way.

Hello,
I would really like a book like Susskind's "An Introduction To Black Holes, Information And The String Theory Revolution: The Holographic Universe" but not so condensed.
If you have anything to suggest please do so. Also, if you know of any book that contains any part of the above book in a pedagogical manner, please feel free to suggest it.
Thanks.

1. What is the "Book on Black Holes, Strings, AdS/CFT" about?

The "Book on Black Holes, Strings, AdS/CFT" is a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the connection between black holes, string theory, and the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence. It covers topics such as the thermodynamics and formation of black holes, the basics of string theory, and the holographic principle.

2. Who is the target audience for this book?

This book is primarily aimed at graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics who are interested in black holes, string theory, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. However, it can also be a valuable resource for anyone with a strong background in physics and mathematics who wants to learn more about these topics.

3. What makes this book unique compared to other books on black holes and string theory?

This book stands out for its comprehensive and integrated approach to the topics of black holes, string theory, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. It not only provides a thorough understanding of each individual topic but also explores their connections and implications for one another.

4. Is this book suitable for self-study or is it better suited for classroom use?

This book can be used for both self-study and classroom use. It is written in a clear and accessible manner, with detailed explanations and examples, making it suitable for individuals studying on their own.
