Properties of extremal black holes and their entropy are reviewed. The microscopic degrees of freedom that give rise to the entropy are not visible in the classical theory. String theory, a quantum theory of gravity, provides a microscopic quantum description of the thermodynamic properties of some extremal and near extremal charged black holes. The description uses properties of some string theory solitons called D-branes. In this description, Hawking radiation emerges as a simple perturbative process. The low energy dynamics of particle absorption and emission agrees in detail with the semiclassical analysis in the thermodynamic limit. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0923.00027].
