"Black Holes & Time Warps reveals the scientific enterprise as very few books do; it richly overflows with history, modern physics, the excitement of discovery, and rare, firsthand insights of scientific styles and temperaments."

-Alan Lightman

"Frebel’s book illuminates the hunt for the universe’s earliest stars with remarkable clarity, blending observational astronomy, stellar archaeology, and the thrill of discovery to reveal how ancient stars inform our understanding of the cosmos."
