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."
