BOOKS
Ben has written, or contributed to four books. His most recent, 'How to Build a Universe' (Octopus), is published in the UK, US, Europe, Korea, Japan and China. It has received universally (no pun) glowing reviews from experts, media and the general public alike – averaging 4.62 stars out of 5 at Goodreads.

You would have to take several university level courses in astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology to cover as much ground as “How To Build A Universe” does in 224 pages. And your professors probably wouldn’t be near as engaging as the author, Ben Gilliland. |
