Book Synopsis
The book is based on lectures given at the TASI summer school of 2010. It aims to provide advanced graduate students, postdoctorates and senior researchers with a survey of important topics in particle physics and string theory, with special emphasis on applications of methods from string theory and quantum gravity in condensed matter physics and QCD (especially heavy ion physics).

Table of Contents
Holography, Supersymmetry and Effective Gravitational Field Theory; What LHC might tell us about String Theory; Introduction to Gauge-Gravity Duality; Theoretical Particle Physics at Hadron Colliders: An Introduction; Applications of the Gauge-string Duality to High-temperature and Low-temperature systems; From Black Holes to Strange Metals; Non-linear Fluid Dynamics from Gravity; Quantum Phase Transitions: From Antiferromagnets and Superconductors to Black Holes; Holography for Strongly Coupled Media; and other papers.
