This book, as a two part set, provides experimental confirmation of the standard electroweak model as well as an accumulation of circumstantial evidence in favour of QCD. The topics covered include: the low-energy theory (standard model); the experimental successes of the electroweak model; string theories and their compactification; the overlap between particle physics and cosmology; and vortices and monopoles as solutions of field-theoretic equations. The contents of the part two are: The quest for supersymmetry; cosmology and particle physics; superstrings; non-linear aspects of compactification in d=11 supergravity; Kaluza-Klein theories and superstrings; symmetries of theories in higher dimensions; on the cohomological structure of gauge theories; gauge-covariant string field theory; the effective action; nonanalytic continuation of WKB approximations.
