The excellent Seed magazine offers a cribsheet [PDF] which includes a basic introduction to string theory. 
Prof. Clifford Johnson over at Asymptotia.com was an adviser.
Other interesting cribsheets are one on stem cells, and one on climate change.

		<description><![CDATA[What is global warming? Most people would answer this seemingly simple question with something like the following (see the article at wikipedia.org):

Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth&#8217;s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. [...]

One would think that all scientist agree on this definition. [...]]]></description>
