Hey guys!

I was wondering, where could i find elucidating Physics books on String theories, quantum mechanics (QED, QCD, QFT, LQG, etc) and all related on the web?

I've done some search, but all i could come up with was an electronics and engineering related forums, and that is not in my best interests...

Thanks in advance.

Thx m8, i appreciate it! :)

Do u have other links as well? perhaps freely available (not a necessity ;)) books, ala the recent LQG book b Roselli?

Thx again!
