Abstract
We give a brief history of the passage from strings to branes and we review some aspects of the following topics in M-theory: (a) an extended brane scan, (b) superembedding approach to the dynamics of superbranes and (c) supermembranes in anti de Sitter space, singletons and massless higher spin field theories.
