Abstract
The purpose of this review is to discuss recent developments occurring at the interface of cosmology with string and M-theory. We begin with a short review of 1980s string cosmology and the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism for explaining spacetime dimensionality and then introduce the Pre-Big-Bang scenario (PBB), the work of Horava-Witten and Lukas, Ovrut and Waldram, and end with a discussion of the Randall-Sundrum model and large extra dimensions.
