- Brings together, for the first time, the ideas related to the physical engineering of our Sun in order to promote the long-term survival of humanity and the Earth itself
- Starting with the ideas currently being promoted for planetary defence against impacting comets and asteroids this book considers the other, more distant astronomical phenomena (supernova explosions, close passing ‘rogue’ stars, and gamma-ray bursts) that pose a long-term threat to life on Earth
- lacing asteroengineering in a galactic context, this book describes one of the most important and lethal astronomical problems, that of an aging parent star, which all extraterrestrial civilizations will eventually have to face
