String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments. It introduces the basics of perturbative string theory, world-sheet supersymmetry, space-time supersymmetry, conformal field theory and the heterotic string, before describing modern developments, including D-branes, string dualities and M-theory. It then covers string geometry and flux compactifications, applications to cosmology and particle physics, black holes in string theory and M-theory, and the microscopic origin of black-hole entropy. It concludes with Matrix theory, the AdS/CFT duality and its generalizations. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in modern string theory, and will make an excellent textbook for a one-year course on string theory. It contains over 120 exercises with solutions, and over 200 homework problems with solutions available on a password protected website for lecturers at www.cambridge.org/9780521860697.

Wenn große Unternehmen in Skandale verwickelt sind – sei es toxisches Führungsverhalten, Produktmängel oder massive Umweltverstöße – endet die Geschichte erstaunlich oft ohne einen großen Prozess. Der Grund dafür ist keine plötzliche Einsicht, sondern eine mächtige, unsichtbare juristische Waffe: das Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).Ursprünglich entwickelt, um sensible Geschäftsgeheimnisse und Patente vor Konkurrenten zu schützen, wurden Geheimhaltungsklauseln in den letzten Jahrzehnten pervertiert. Sie sind heute das primäre Werkzeug von Konzernen, um Fehlverhalten systematisch zu vertuschen. Mitarbeiter werden mit astronomischen Abfindungen und der Androhung des finanziellen Ruins buchstäblich zum Schweigen gekauft. Diese juristische Schattenwirtschaft sorgt dafür, dass systemische Probleme niemals an die Öffentlichkeit dringen und Wiederholungstäter unbehelligt weitermachen können.Dieses Buch leuchtet tief in den juristischen Maschinenraum der modernen Wirtschaft. Es analysiert auf erschreckende Weise, wie mächtige Anwaltskanzleien ein wasserdichtes System der Einschüchterung etabliert haben, das den Schutz der Marke weit über die ethische Verantwortung und das Gesetz stellt.Verstehen Sie die dunkle Seite der Corporate Compliance. Erfahren Sie, wie Sie sich als Mitarbeiter vor missbräuchlichen Knebelverträgen schützen und warum eine Unternehmenskultur, die auf gekaufter Stille basiert, langfristig immer zum Scheitern verurteilt ist.
