The Universe: A Biography
In 1971, I discovered astronomy after purchasing a paperback titled "Dictionary of Astronomy" during my first (and only) visit the University of Benin, Benin City. It was an eye-opener. A year later, my reputation as an "astronomer" spread by word of mouth and I was giving informal moonlight lectures on Big Bang and Relativity theories at 6 Wilkinson Road, Onitsha. I could tell from the hushed silence that I was opening a window to a universe of solar systems and galaxies.
