M-theory, the theory formerly known as Strings The Standard Model In the standard model of particle physics, particles are considered to be points moving through space, tracing out a line called the World Line. To take into account the different interactions observed in Nature one has to provide particles with more degrees of freedom then only their position and velocity, such as mass, electric ...

The First Superstring Revolution In 1984-85 there was a series of discoveries that convinced many theorists that superstring theory is a very promising approach to unification. Almost overnight, the subject was transformed from an intellectual backwater to one of the most active areas of theoretical physics, which it has remained ever since. By the time the dust settled in 1985, it seemed clear ...

The following are review articles on string theory and related topics which can be downloaded (in PDF, postscript, or other formats) from the arXiv preprint server. Except for the first category, the reviews are technical in nature (an explanation of the basic idea of string theory intended for the general public may be found here). Other string links, including online conference proceedings, ...
