	ASIMOVIANS.COM - In Memory of Isaac Asimov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Asimov often bristled at this title and enjoyed bring up his 1953 short story "Everest." In that tale Asimov predicted that the tall mountain would never be climbed.
		Asimov also presents a very interesting introductory essay on Futurism, and why it is so important that we know what is to come.
		The reflections by Asimov on each idea presented in the artwork are interesting and informative, as Asimov often is. The chance to see another time’s vision of our lives, however light, is always an interesting reflection on the society of the time.

	C. S. Lewis and Issac Asimov:
		Lewis and Asimov were born within twenty-five years of each other and both spent most of their lives in a nation other than the one they were born in.
		Asimov once justified his idea the separation of humanity from all other animals by man's concept of time: "An animal may remember, but surely it can have no notion of 'past' and certainly no of 'future'." He did admit, though, that this view reminds man that he is fallen.
		Though C.S. Lewis and Isaac Asimov lived through many of the same events and years, were both highly educated and lived in countries they weren't native to, they had very differing opinions on almost all subjects from the style of their writing to modern technology.

	Review of "Everest" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In which the Good Doctor reveals the reason why Mount Everest was never climbed— it was used as a base by Marians (aka abominable snow persons).
		Its very brevity saves it, perhaps—that, and the fact (as Asimov himself was fond of pointing out) that it was written just before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay managed to climb Mount Everst and actually published five months after the successful ascent.
		Hence one must not put too much stock in Asimov’s abilities as a predictor of the future.

	Isaac Asimov's Views on Creationism [Free Republic]
		Asimov here states the essence of my own opposition to creationism, which is aside from and beyond the point that creation isn't the best-fit-to-the-data theory.
		Asimov was a man who could have made any one of us incalculably rich, had we been able to buy him for what he was worth and sell him for what he thought he was worth.
		Asimov and potted Carl Sagan were both mouthpieces for the scientific establishment.

		Isaac Asimov is famous as a prolific SF author whose work did much to shape the modern genre--as the SF Encyclopedia puts it, "His was the default voice of SF".
		Asimov completists certainly won't want to be without this volume--but newcomers may prefer a stronger collection like I, Robot or Asimov's Mysteries.
		Spanning twenty-three years of Asimov's amazing career, these stories display to the full the exhilarating power of one of science fiction's most astonishing writers.

	asimov
		Isaac Asimov est sans aucun doute l'un des auteurs de science-fiction les plus connus et les plus populaires, avec une carrière qui s'étend sur près de 60 ans, puisqu'il publie sa première nouvelle en 1939 et que des textes inédits continuent à être édités en 1996, soit 4 ans après sa mort.
		Durant cette longue carrière, Asimov a écrit une quantité considérable de textes de science-fiction, mais aussi des études sur le genre, des romans policiers et surtout des ouvrages de vulgarisation scientifique, exploitant ainsi son doctorat de biochimie et son immense curiosité intellectuelle.
		En plus de son travail d'écrivain, Asimov a aussi édité de nombreuses anthologies et fondé un magazine, "Isaac Asimov science fiction magazine", dont une selection de nouvelles a été publié en France dans la série "Isaac Asimov présente" aux éditions Pocket.

	Re: Masque of the Thread Death (was - Shape of...)
		The claim made by Bert, myself and Asimov is that Everest is not the tallest mountain on Earth when measured from a specified base level to its peak.
		Asimov would have researched the latest soundings (as of 1966) of sea floor depths around the Hawaiian Islands.
		Asimov had "fun" with it because he was attempting to help us see the Hawaiian volcano from a new and different perspective.

	Review of Buy Jupiter and Other Stories
		Here Isaac Asimov, the renowned writer and storyteller, takes you behind the scenes to his work—and to his life—revealing the rare blend of an original mind and rich personality that has made him one of the biggest names in science fiction today.
		And it is available elsewhere, too, so there’s definitely no need to own this very weak collection for the sake of this one truly worthwhile story.
		On the other hand, the book is strewn with biographical commentary, rather in the fashion of The Early Asimov.

	Science Fiction: Changing the Valves
		After all there had to be someone on hand to change the valves, or in the case of American stations the vacuum tubes.
		The great Isaac Asimov was not immune to this sort of thing.
		In "Everest" he described the colony of Martian scientists living at the top of the mountain, where the thin, cold air suited them and they were ideally placed to observe the human race.

		But we know the rate at which Mt. Everest is growing, we know that there were several mountain ranges over the earth at the time, so there is no way imaginable to say that there is enough water to cover the earth.
		Everest rises a few millimeters a year, 6000 years ago it would still have been much too high to be covered by a flood.

	Isaac Asimov op De Boekenplank
		Isaac Asimov - de grootvader van de sf - is geboren in Rusland (de toenmalige Sovjet-Unie), maar al in 1923 trok het gezin naar de Verenigde Staten.
		Van Asimov is veel bekend, ondermeer omdat hij naast heel veel schrijven, ook vaak commentaar in z'n boeken opnam.
		Asimov begon met schrijven in 1938 en kreeg direct vanaf het begin een band met John W. Campbell Jr., de editor van Astounding Science Fiction, die hem raadgaf en stimuleerde.

	Re: Masque of the Thread Death (was - Shape of...)
		Everest next to the volcanoes at sea level (let Superman hold it there for a bit).
		An using your position, while you "can" remove Everest and place it beside the volcanos, you can not do the reverse (take the volcanos and place them by Everest) and Everest is now a part of the same "land" on which stands your volcanos.
		I argued without the benefit of Asimov that > the Hawaiian volcano was the tallest mountain in the world, and > i truly botched the job.

	The Lair of Fang-Face DreamWeaver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The height of Mount Everest is usually given in the reference books as 29,002 feet above sea level, a value first obtained in 1860, though I believe that the most recent* trigonometric measurements make it 29,141 feet.
		Old habits die with exceeding slowness, and whatever the science courses in school teach us, most of the population of the "advanced" nations of the world still believe that man is the measure of all things, the ruler of creation, and can do as he pleases.
		The triple triumph of the Moon, then, is that it made it possible for man to exist; it made it possible for him to develop mathematics and science; it made it possible for him to transcend Earth and conquer space.
