Avi Loeb introduces his third book in this lecture. Published by
Princeton University Press, they write:
"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."
