Barton Zwiebach's 'A First Course in String Theory' is unique in style and presentation. It will help novice researchers avoid feelings of oppression and despair that often accompany the study of traditional textbooks, as it is no secret that string theory has a reputation for being an incredibly complex science. On every page of the book, the author firmly follows the set goal of making string theory accessible to any physicist wishing to expand their knowledge in this area. The book covers virtually the entire spectrum of string theory. The exposition is presented in a self-contained form, so the reader only needs a solid understanding of the basics of mechanics and some elements of quantum theory to comprehend it. The author aims to develop intuition in readers, reinforcing formal exposition with numerous illustrative examples. The monograph reflects the current state of the theory. To this end, the second edition includes current topics such as AdS/CFT correspondence, strings on orbifolds, moduli stabilization, the string theory landscape, and some others. A prominent feature of the book is the presence of a large number of exercises and warm-up exercises (about 300 in total), both of a training nature and requiring reflection and a creative approach. In terms of the completeness of the presentation of factual material and the nature of its representation, the book has no analogs among monographs on string theory. It will undoubtedly be useful for students, graduate students, teachers of relevant disciplines, as well as specialists in theoretical and mathematical physics.
