Abstract: This Resource Letter provides a guide to some of the the introductory andreview literature in string theory. It is in no way complete, though it isintended to be of use to students at several levels. Owing to the nature of thesubject, even much of the introductory literature is quite technical by thestandards of many Resource Letters, requiring prior knowledge of quantum fieldtheory and general relativity. This Resource Letter is thus somewhat differentfrom others. The first part describes a few more popular accounts of stringtheory, which are primarily addressed to the general public, but those with anunderstanding of basic physics will be able to read them more deeply and soobtain a useful rough orientation to the field. The second part describesresources that are available at the advanced undergraduate level, and thebalance describes string resources for more advanced students. The latter rangefrom general introductions to recent review articles on branes and black holes,gauge/gravity duality, string field theory, non-commutative geometry, non-BPSbranes, tachyon condensation, phenomenology, brane worlds, orbifolds,Calabi-Yau manifolds, and holography.
