SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the upcoming releases of two significant books in string theory: "String Theory and M-Theory: A Modern Introduction" by Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker, and John Schwarz, and "Supersymmetry and String Theory: Beyond the Standard Model" by Michael Dine. Both books are priced at $80.00 and are published by Cambridge University Press, with the Becker book being a first edition and the Dine book listed as a second edition, although there is uncertainty regarding its edition status. Both titles are available for pre-order on Amazon, with anticipated shipping by the end of 2006 or early 2007.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of string theory concepts
  • Familiarity with supersymmetry in theoretical physics
  • Knowledge of academic publishing standards

String Theory and M-Theory: A Modern Introduction (Hardcover)
by Katrin Becker, Melanie Becker, John Schwarz
$80.00
729 pages
Cambridge University Press; 1st edition (December 31, 2006)
ISBN: 0521860695
Amazon.com Sales Rank: #174,463 in Books
======================
Maybe I shouldn't call the next one a "new" release because it is listed here as a second edition. I am not sure of the facts concerning the first edition. In any case it is scheduled to come out by the end of the year and people evidently are advance-ordering it because it has a sales rank.

Supersymmetry and String Theory: Beyond the Standard Model (Hardcover)
by Michael Dine
$80.00
536 pages
Cambridge University Press; 2nd edition (December 31, 2006)
ISBN: 0521858410
Amazon.com Sales Rank: #200,108 in Books
=========================

Amazon has these books available for pre-order. To be shipped whenever they get the item in stock.

Has anybody seen advance copies, or the earlier edition? Any comment?

The Dine book may actually be a 1st edition, and the Amazon page simply mistaken. Dine's webpage indicates a January 2007 release.

thx to Sean Carroll for alerting us to these forthcoming publications
