From the reviews: The book is a masterpiece on the understanding of D-Branes in String Theory. The book is very well written and the organization is perfect! If you are interested in to learn D-branes ... this is the right book for you. ... And also the end of the book presents some speculations how the branes can or could be used to establish a unification theory of the physical reality and this part is indeed amazing I recommend you check this book. (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, December, 2013) This is a very commendable book indeed. It is, in my opinion, an excellent introduction to the subject of D-branes. ... I do recommend this book for all undergraduates and potential researchers wanting to start working with D-branes ... . (Paulo Moniz, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2013) The book is written for undergraduates as well as for graduate students. Hashimoto minimizes the assumed knowledge of the reader and provides a short path to the frontier research results. After a brief explanation of general string theory the main covered topics are: (1) the general braneworld scenario, (2) black hole production in experiment, (3) braneworld cosmology and inflation, (4) counting states of black holes using superstring theory, (5) AdS/CFT correspondence.
