		For Lance Armstrong these attributes are a vital part of his triumph as a cyclist, winning the Tour de France three years in a row, and even more importantly, his triumph over cancer.
		This activity-filled weekend will be a great opportunity for our community to help Lance and his foundation continue to enhance the quality of life for those living with, through, and beyond cancer.
		Lance was determined to be a cancer survivor, not a cancer victim.

	Science Fiction Book Reviews
		But Hari Seldon isn't quite finished yet, as David Brin (author of The Postman and the Uplift series) reveals in Foundation's Triumph, the closing volume of The Second Foundation Trilogy.
		I've never been a huge David Brin fan, but with Foundation's Triumph he has made an impressive, thought-provoking addition to Isaac Asimov's formidable legacy.
		Everything is well in hand, but there are a few nagging holes in the equations, including the mystery of the "chaos worlds," planets that undergo stunning technological and artistic renaissances only to collapse into violence and anarchy.

	Picturing the Roman triumph: putting the Fasti Capitolini in context. - Apollo - HighBeam Research
		The Fasti which recorded the roster of Roman triumphs were, in other words, inserted into a room already resonant with triumphal images; in fact, the observant visitor would have been able to spot the record of the triumph of Paullus among the surviving fragments of the Fasti on the adjacent wall.
		Triumphs were dangerous, contested and liable to rebound on the same godlike generals who were honoured by them.
		Although some commentators have identified it as the triumph of the emperor Aurelian over the Palmyrene queen Zenobia, the text of Silvanus, combined with the Republican theme of the room, makes it certain that we are witnessing Aemilius Paullus, the conqueror of King Perseus of Macedon, celebrating his victory procession in 167 BC.

	Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series
		Unlike the unbridled optimism and triumph of the first Foundation book, the Foundation and the characters of this book suffer their fair share of misfortune.
		In 'Foundation', the early golden days of the Foundation are told, of how the society managed to gain survival and ultimately pre-eminence in it's local sector, not through violence, but through cunning.
		Foundation's Edge is a fair book, but it doesn't contain any of the originality or strength of the original trilogy.

	Foundation
		Each chapter is a new era in the Foundation's history, and as people come and go, its logical imperative proceeds virtually unhindered; that is, until it is destroyed in the second novel, only for the Second Foundation to triumph in the third.
		The book describes a hunt for the Second Foundation where the hunters may or may not have been controlled by the hunted, the hunted may or may not have been found by the hunters, and what seems to be independent thought and action on any of their parts may not be so.
		Foundation is the first of the trilogy; it is set far in the future.

	Edgar Governo, Historian of Things That Never Were
		Attila Torkos has compiled his own Chronology of the Robot-Empire-Foundation Universe, which updates the timeline first published in David Brin's novel Foundation's Triumph.
		The Timeline of the Highlander Universe compiled by I. Marc Carlson is a catch-all chronology which takes information from the series, the movies, the novels, and even the work of other online historians of things that never were in an attempt to fit it all together in a (somewhat) logical sequence.
		The Unofficial Chronology to the Marvel Universe, written by Robert Wicks, is quite thorough, but it only deals with events up to the debut of the Fantastic Four, not covering the present or the future.

	Decline and fall of the Galactic Empire
		The Foundation stories are a triumph of science fiction as the literature of the idea as hero.
		The theme of the original Foundation trilogy (a series of short stories and novellas packaged in three volumes)is the unfolding of a grand planned history, the Seldon plan, the threat of the plan being destroyed, and the plan being saved.
		In his youth Isaac Asimov constructed three distinct major fictional universes, each thematically separate, the far future Foundation trilogy, the near future series of short stories about positronic robots, and an intermediate series about the conflict between Earthers and Spacers, the latter being potentially in the same universe as his earlier robot novels.

	Isaac Asimov FAQ
		They would simply be century upon century of the Foundation's growth and triumph under the direction of the Second Foundation, and really rather dull.
		The existence of the Second Foundation had been a part of the series from the beginning, as was its location at "Star's End," but its exact nature wasn't clearly defined until it acquired its role as the Mule's nemesis.
		Since the Foundation's ultimate success was guaranteed by psychohistory, there was a considerable lack of dramatic tension, and it was hard keeping the stories from contradicting each other.

	Amazon.com: Foundation's Triumph (Second Foundation Trilogy): Books: David Brin
		Foundation's Triumph though may be an overstatement for when you read through the appendix about the future of the universe as forseen by the various authors that have contributed to it, one almost wonders if Foundation Established would be the better title.
		Foundation's Triumph is just that, especially after the tedious, overlong first book (with its uninteresting Voltaire/Joan of Arc subplot) and the very good, very enjoyable but un-spectacular second book.
		Isaac Asimov's 1951-53 Foundation trilogy is a rough-hewn classic of far future SF, honored with a unique 1965 Hugo for Best All-Time Series.

	Twenty Questions with the Killer Bs
		Midway through David Brin's Foundation's Triumph, the third book in the Second Foundation Trilogy, protagonist Hari Seldon muses over a question which defines the unifying theme for the three new books: "Why are we cursed, so our only hope to evade insanity is to stay as far away as possible from our potential greatness?
		With the recent publishing of the final installments of their Second Foundation Trilogy series, the Killer Bs (well, two of them, at least) take a break to chat with the wigglefish about science, science fiction, and many things in between.
		In the years before his death, Asimov began to write stories linking his Foundation Trilogy and his Robot works; this led him straight into a morass, which he attempted to sort out by way of fabulous conspiracies.

	David Brin: Foundation's Triumph
		At times, Foundation’s Triumph reads like a robot novel, with their heavy examination of Asimov’s laws of robotics, while at other times, Brin is writing a Foundation novel, looking at the politics of the empire’s fall.
		Seldon’s awareness of the role of Olivaw and his own stage-managing of the future with the introduction of the Second Foundation is shown to be mere portions of the greater schemes.
		Suddenly, the relatively straight-forward politics of the original Foundation series, as well as Asimov’s additions, are seen as only the surface of a Byzantine complex of attempts to guide the galaxy.
