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. 606 $aString models 606 $aDuality (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aString models. 615 0$aDuality (Nuclear physics) 676 $a539.7/258 686 $aSCI040000$2bisacsh 702 $aCappelli$b Andrea 702 $aCastellani$b Elena$f1959- 702 $aColomo$b F. 702 $aDi Vecchia$b P$g(Paolo), 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779150303321 996 $aThe birth of string theory$93704428 997 $aUNINA
