Reviews and Interviews

• Nature Astronomy book review:
  

  The book works. It takes you from the reliability of London buses to the Big Bang in a circuitous but continuous path, leaving you with an accomplished feeling of having slotted parts of the Universe and parts of our understanding into their logical places. The contextualizing of statistics and randomness in human history adds flavour to what could otherwise have been quite obscure and textbookish subject matter, and the handful of equations and plots are explained in straightforward terms. While not a casual read, it is an accomplished one.

• Nature, Modelling the cosmos and imagining a future without meat: Books in brief (6 March 2026)

• The Guardian, “‘We’re trying to find the shape of space’: scientists wonder if the universe is like a doughnut”, by Philip Ball (8 June 2024)
