• Beyond String Theory

  http://www.phys.ens.fr/~troost/beyondstringtheory
  An elementary introduction to the basic principles of string theory and M-theory.

• Branes for Relativists

  http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0108046
  The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a pedagogical account of the brane technology so that the relativists can use branes in their study.

• Introduction to Non-Pertubative String Theory

  http://xxx.uni-augsburg.de/abs/hep-th/9802051
  In this review I discuss some basic aspects of non-perturbative string theory. The topics include test of duality symmetries based on the analysis of the low energy effective action and the spectrum of BPS states, relationship between different duality symmetries, an introduction to M- and F-theories, black hole entropy in string theory, and Matrix theory.

• Introduction to Superstring Theory

  http://www.arxiv.org/abs/hep-ex/0008017
  These four lectures, addressed to an audience of graduate students in experimental high energy physics, survey some of the basic concepts in string theory. The purpose is to convey a general sense of what string theory is and what it has achieved.[Postscript]

• Introduction to Superstring Theory

  http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9709062
  In these lecture notes, an introduction to superstring theory is presented. Classical strings, covariant and light-cone quantization, supersymmetric strings, anomaly cancelation, compactification, T-duality, supersymmetry breaking, and threshold corrections to low-energy couplings are discussed. A brief introduction to non-perturbative duality symmetries is also included.

• Lectures on String Theory in Curved Spacetimes

  http://www.arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9512074
  Recent progress on string theory in curved spacetimes is reviewed. The string dynamics in cosmological and black hole spacetimes is investigated and the methods of solving the string equations of motion in curved spacetimes are described.

• Light Cone Quantization

  http://www.arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0008096
  These lecture notes review the foundations and some applications of light-cone quantization.[Postscript]

• M-Theory

  http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gr/public/qg_ss.html
  The theory formerly known as strings is presented in a non-technical format.

• M-Theory

  http://www.superstringtheory.fanspace.com/
  Site discusses string theory, m-theory, gravity, and modification to m-theory.

• String Theory at the Millennium
