Amazing times! I finished the manuscript for the first edition of this book just 8 years ago—but the necessity of a new edition was urgently felt. In these years we have witnessed an enormous development in the field of extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. On the instrument side, the ?nal servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope brought two new very powerful instruments to this unique observatory, the Herschel and Planck satellites were launched and conducted their very successful missions, the South Pole Telescope and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope started operation, ALMA was inaugurated and began observations, and new powerful high-resolution instruments were installed on 10-m class telescopes. Scientifically, the redshift frontier has been extended, with candidate galaxies at redshifts of ten or higher and stellar explosions seen at redshifts beyond eight, a much improved understanding of the high-redshift galaxy population has been obtained, as a consequence of which also the origin of the cosmic infrared background is now understood, and greatly improved multi-wavelength surveys carried out with the most powerful telescopes, together with new simulation techniques, have provided us with a much better understanding of the evolution of the galaxy population. The Pierre Auger observatory has shed much light on the origin of the most energetic cosmic rays, and the advances of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes have identified dozens of active galaxies emitting at energies of teraelectron Volts.
