<p>This book takes a pedagogical approach to explaining quantum gravity, supersymmetry and string theory in a coherent way. It&nbsp;is aimed at graduate students and researchers in quantum field theory and high-energy physics.<br><br>The first part of the book introduces quantum gravity, without requiring previous knowledge of general relativity (GR). The necessary geometrical aspects are derived ...

This textbook covers a broad spectrum of developments in QFT, emphasizing those aspects that are now well consolidated and for which satisfactory theoretical descriptions have been provided. The book is unique in that it offers a new approach to the subject and explores many topics merely touched upon, if covered at all, in standard reference works.<p></p><p>A detailed and largely non-technical in...
