This volume brings together leading experts in the field to discuss our current level of understanding and what may come in the near future as our observational as well as theoretical tools improve. The book confronts the theory of how the first stars, black holes, and galaxies formed with current and planned observations. This synthesis is very timely, just ahead of the establishment of major new facilities, such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a next-generation, millimeter/sub-millimeter observatory in the Atacama desert (ALMA), and ground-based Extremely Large Telescopes (ELT). Together, they will revolutionize the study of the most distant objects in the Universe.
This volume is aimed at beginning graduate students but can also serve as a reference work for active researchers in the field. Apart from presenting the fundamental concepts involved, it also provides an introduction to the methods and techniques used. The book will also be useful to anyone with an astrophysical background who needs an effective starting point for learning about the first stars and galaxies.

Tommy Wiklind (ESO/Joint ALMA Observatory), Bahram Mobasher (UCLA, Riverside) and Volker Bromm (University of Texas, Austin) are leaders in the field of first stars and first galaxies.
Provides state-of-the art knowledge of the origins of the very first stars and galaxies with observational clues and predictions which will lead to a coherent understanding of the early universe
Very timely topic, since ample observational and theoretical progress has been made recently
Prepares researchers for new observation facilities that will become available in the next 3-5 years
Written by active researchers in the field
One of the few books covering both observational and theoretical aspects of the Dark Ages of the Universe, with enough background and up-to-date information
Includes supplementary material: [...]
