Reviews

Advance praise: 'An excellent introduction to the gauge/gravity duality and its main applications. A valuable guide both for graduate students and experienced researchers.' Juan Maldacena, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton Advance praise: 'This clear and precise book should be very helpful to any student or researcher that is interested in the gauge/gravity correspondence and its field theory applications.' Ofer Aharony, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot Advance praise: 'A well-structured and illustrated introduction ... and an in depth and up-to-date discussion of all the essential features of the gauge/gravity correspondence.' Andreas Karch, University of Washington, Seattle Advance praise: 'Written by experts in the field, this book is remarkable for its broad survey of one of the most cutting-edge topics in theoretical physics of the past ten years.' Nick Evans, University of Southampton
