Can civilization survive? . This startling concept -- that of a maverick, doomed Sun -- underlies John Gribbin's unnerving yet scientifically viable portrayal of our Sun in a new and ominous perspective. No longer the supremely reliable giver of warmth and life, the Sun, as revealed by recent astrophysical evidence, is menacingly inconstant. THE DEATH OF THE SUN explores man's intimate links with the Sun and the stars, and our planet's precarious place in the delicate balance of Earth, Sun, and Galaxy.".
