PRAISE FOR FIRST LIGHT, BY EMMA CHAPMAN
:
A dispatch from the frontiers of science, from a brain fizzing with ideas and energy
Chris Lintott, BBC Sky at Night
An illuminating and entertaining look at the earliest stars of our cosmos. Chapman is a witty and straightforward guide, and her enthusiasm is infectious
Washington Post
Thoroughly engaging . . . allows us to see science in the making. Chapman serves as a wonderful guide, whose voice is reminiscent of Carl Sagan's, although with an extra and very welcome dollop of impish humor
