The book describes our basic understanding of the processes occurring in the early universe between recombination and reionization of hydrogen. It will address in particular First Light, the formation of the first stars, first galaxies and first active galactic nuclei. The theoretical overview will be followedby a description of current ongoing studies and future observational studies of this era when the first discrete objects formed in the universe. The book, written in a coherent manner, provides a direct link between newest theory andexperiment. It is oriented at cosmological problems rather than at methods and discusses a wide range of experimental techniques to address these problems.An introductory chapter makes it suitable for young reserchers as well as Master and PhD students.
