The Theory of Strings: A Detailed Introduction
A longer and more detailed article of mine, still non-technical but somewhat more demanding and perhaps better suited to science students or practising scientists (not necessarily physicists). It might also repay patient reading by a lay person, but I won't swear to that.

Elements of String Theory
An article that I co-authored with Atish Dabholkar and Spenta Wadia when the three of us were organizing the Strings 2001 conference. This was used to inform the press and the general public, who showed immense interest in the conference.

The Second Superstring Revolution
An excellent and systematically presented set of short articles for non-specialists, by one of the discoverers of modern string theory, Professor John Schwarz of Caltech.

The Elegant Universe
Website on the PBS movie, based on Brian Greene's book of the same name.

The "Official" String Theory Website
A fascinating production, with a variety of information on string theory, and a lot of other stuff, presented in a colourful environment with pictures and sounds. I'm not quite sure what's "official" about this site, though...

Superstrings!
John Pierre's online introduction to Superstring Theory.

Superstring Theory
A brief introduction to string theory by Brian Greene, now the bestselling author of "The Elegant Universe".

String Theory
A very short summary of string theory by Robbert Dijkgraaf. The illustrations are very nice and there are many links for experts and non-experts.

Dimensional Madness
Intelligent and amusing page by Jessica and Christine on various aspects of higher dimensions... but mostly I'm just flattered that they interviewed me!

The Nth Dimension
Another website that features an interview of mine! Apart from that surprising lapse of taste, it is a very extensive and interesting presentation.

New Ways to Make Old Strings
A colloquium I gave at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, in September 2002 to an audience of physicists.
This was broadcast on the Access Grid, a video conferencing facility for scientific institutions - or, as the maintainers like to call it, "the ensemble of resources that can be used to support human interaction across the grid".. Please visit their site, do not be put off by their pretentious descriptions!

Noncommutativity in String Theory
The notes for a short course that I gave at the Prospects in Theoretical Physics programme "Introduction to String Theory", at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, in July 2002.

Mini-course on String Theory
Webpage for the students of the Mini-course on String Theory that I taught at the Tata Institute in October-November 2003. Essentially the same course was delivered at BUSSTEPP (British Universities Summer School in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics, what-a-mouthful!) in September 2003 and September 2004.

Lectures on Topological Matrix Models
A pair of lectures that I gave at the Les Houches Summer School on Matrix Models, June 2004 (PDF format).

Random Matrix Models of String Theory
A short course that I taught at the "Mathematics of String Theory" Workshop, Australian National University, July 2006 (PDF format).

LHC for String Theorists
The video recording of a course that I taught at TIFR during the Autumn Semester (August-December) 2006.
