	           When density fluctuations collapse gravitationally out of the expanding cosmological background 
	          universe to form galaxies, the secondary energy release which results can affect their subsequent 
	          evolution profoundly. Focused upon here are the effects of one form of such energy release - explosions, 
	          such as might result from the supernovae which end the lives of the first generation of massive stars 
	          to form inside protogalaxies.
