The past decade has witnessed dramatic developments in the
field of theoretical physics. This book is a comprehensive
introduction to these recent developments. It contains a review of
the Standard Model, covering non-perturbative topics, and a
discussion of grand unified theories and magnetic monopoles. It
introduces the basics of supersymmetry and its phenomenology, and
includes dynamics, dynamical supersymmetry breaking, and
electric-magnetic duality. The book then covers general relativity
and the big bang theory, and the basic issues in inflationary
cosmologies before discussing the spectra of known string theories
and the features of their interactions. The book also includes
brief introductions to technicolor, large extra dimensions, and the
Randall-Sundrum theory of warped spaces. This will be of great
interest to graduates and researchers in the fields of particle
theory, string theory, astrophysics and cosmology. The book
contains several problems, and password protected solutions will be
available to lecturers at
