Humans evolved when the Sun was in the great void of the Local
Bubble. The Sun entered the present environment of interstellar
clouds only during the late Quaternary. Astronomical data reveal
these long and short term changes in our galactic environment.
Theoretical models then tell us how these changes affect
interplanetary particles, planetary magnetospheres, and the Earth
itself. Cosmic rays leave an isotopic signature in the paleoclimate
record that helps trace the solar journey through space. This
volume lays the foundation for an interdisciplinary study of the
influence of interstellar material on the solar system and Earth as
we travel through the Milky Way Galaxy.
