"This book provides a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to one of the most
exciting frontiers in astrophysics today: the quest to understand how the oldest and
most distant galaxies in our universe first formed. Until now, most research on this
question has been theoretical, but the next few years will bring about a new generation
of large telescopes that promise to supply a flood of data about the infant universe
during its first billion years after the big bang. This book bridges the gap between
theory and observation. It is an invaluable reference for students and researchers
on early galaxies. The First Galaxies in the Universe starts from basic physical principles
before moving on to more advanced material. Topics include the gravitational growth
of structure, the intergalactic medium, the formation and evolution of the first stars
and black holes, feedback and galaxy evolution, reionization, 21-cm cosmology, and
more. Provides a comprehensive introduction to this exciting frontier in astrophysics
Begins from first principles Covers advanced topics such as the first stars and 21-cm
cosmology Prepares students for research using the next generation of large telescopes
Discusses many open questions to be explored in the coming decade "
