These volumes will be a comprehensive review of the most important concepts and current status in the field, covering both theory and observation. Volume 1 lays out the subjects of galaxy formation and evolution based on the current paradigm in cosmology. Part I presents the basic theory, including a brief treatment of galactic structure. Part II builds on Part I by presenting the exciting subject of high-redshift galaxy formation, including topics such as cosmic dawn, the first stars, cosmic reionization, and 21-cm cosmology. One of the attractive features of the encyclopedia is that it is accompanied by supplementary materials including videos and simulations of the numerical computation.
