If you have one hour available, I think this lecture is a good homenage to Joe Polchinski who passed away a couple of days ago.
For people interested in this top theoretical physicist, check out e.g.:
- How will Joe Polchinski be remembered? (Quora, Luboš Motl answer)
- Memories of a Theoretical Physicist (ArXiv - PDF)
- Joe’s Little Book of String (KITP - PDF) - Graduate level
- String Theory, his famous text book (Amazon, Vol1, Vol2) - Graduate level
