String theory is currently the best candidate for a unified theory of all forces and all forms of matter in nature. As such, it has become a focal point for physical and philosophical discussions. This unique book explores the history of the theory's early stages of development, as told by its main protagonists. The book journeys from the first version of the theory (the so-called dual resonance model) in the late sixties, as an attempt to describe the physics of strong interactions outside the framework of quantum field theory, to its reinterpretation around the mid-seventies as a quantum theory of gravity unified with the other forces, and its successive developments up to the superstring revolution in 1984. Providing important background information to current debates on the theory, this book is essential reading for students and researchers in physics, as well as historians and philosophers of science.

This second workshop on constraint theory aims at reviewing the developments that have taken place in the theory of singular Lagrangians and Dirac-Bergmann Hamiltonian constraints as well as their quantization. Since this theory lies behind all special and general relativistic systems, the topics covered here naturally range from mathematical physics to relativistic system particles, strings and fields and further to general relativity. The variety of topics discussed makes this an important, interesting and informative book.
