We are an integrated part of cosmos. Astronomy broadly studies universe, solar system, planets, galaxies, meteoroids, asteroids and astronomical bodies, often thought to be of celestial origin. Out of the occurrence of a fluke manifestation, one after the other resulting in the creation of life, species and humans. In modern times, Hubble Telescope revolutionised planetary studies and outlived its lifespan and enriched the human knowledge on Cosmos for about three decades. Hubble will be replaced by James Webb in near future.

An extraordinary book on evolution and environmental disasters.
An extraordinary book on work on account of Universe ,birth and evolution of human race, environmental disasters etc. This seems to be influenced by the progressive theory. There is always give and take process in natural phenomenon. Nature always maintains balance in the ecosystem.
Dr. Misra has made tremendous efforts to justify climate change in the world and he seems to have achieved his goal, but I slightly differ , since nothing could be achieved without paying its cost. Congratulations to him. I strongly recommend this book as a must read.-- Rajesh Sharma

Sustaining Planet
Dr. Misra introduces universe to reader from the first instant of its birth. The initial creation was linear and mechanical but once human habitation and evolving civilization began to interact, the process was no longer predictable. The author briefly discusses four civilizations that are no longer in existence and traces their demise to non-sustainability due to environmental imbalance. Let us hope, people wake up take steps to slow down the erosion of natural resources that inevitably lead to disaster and destruction. Futurists like Daniken, Kurzweil look to boosting capabilities for space travel and Elon Musk actually starts Space-X; but for masses, earth may be the only planet they will know.

A lesson to the present human populace by learning what happened to their ancestors.
Wondetfully narrated. The book provided complete detail on inception of Universe, Sun Earth, Moon and human evolution. Highly advanced civilizations collapsed due to environmental disasters. Such scary incidences are presented in details..
