		Hober Mallow, a master trader (though not a Foundation agent), is sent to Korell on a trade mission and told to keep his eyes open and learn what he can about their technology and the missing ships.
		Mallow is arrested for allegedly allowing a Foundation missionary to be killed while he was on Korell but the event was shown to be staged.

	Book Reviews by Rowan Crawford
		The format of the second novel in the series was somewhat different to the almost episodic approach of the first, with much more of an "action" path through the story.
		This novel begins with Hari Seldon, the main character of the series, first arriving on Trantor (the capital of the galaxy) and then leads into an exciting rollercoaster ride over the planet.
		The final Foundation novel written by Asimov, set before 'Foundation', the first one he wrote, but after 'Prelude To Foundation', the second last one he wrote (following?), proves to be one of the best of the series.

	Foundation - Foundation Cycles of History
		Foundation is a novel throughout which the cycles of history are present.
		According to Jean Fielder, one of the greatest influences on Asimov's Foundation novel is Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
		This parallel is most discernible as Foundation depicts the gradual disintegration of a great empire, the concomitant rise in regional trade, and the eventual consolidation of political and economic power in the trading city- (or planet-) states.

		Foundation the novel, was the first written by Asimov, and began a cycle that would encompass his entire oeuvre.
		Foundation is a collection of stories concerning the early development of the Foundation, from its inception on the resource-poor planet of Terminus and, as the Empire’s power slowly crumbled, to its eventual growth and dominance over the outer periphery.
		The nature of this first Foundation novel made it easy for Asimov, the collection of stories are short, and thus he need not develop any of his characters.

	Spoiler-Laden Robot/Foundation Publishing History, part 6 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The novel features speculation by Fastolfe on the possibility of working out "laws of humanics" that would allow the future of humanity to be worked out mathematically using a science of psychohistory.
		The novel is also the first of the Elijah Baley novels to explicitly mention Susan Calvin, thus directly connecting the far future of the Spacers with the twenty-first century stories from I, Robot (and with the later stories "That Thou Art Mindful of Him" and "The Bicentennial Man").
		As the novel opens, Seldon at age 32 has just presented a paper to the Decennial Convention on Trantor showing that it is theoretically possible to use advanced mathematics to predict future events.

		Since Prelude was written many years after the original Foundation trilogy, Asimov chose to tie in a few plot elements from the four-book Robot series and the old Empire trilogy.
		Prelude to Foundation is just one episode in Asimov's sci-fi tapestry woven from several independent series of novels and short stories, all set in the future but with some connecting threads.
		For afficionados of 'Robot'-lore and the 'Empire' this is a continuation of these novels and the action is all set on magnificent Trantor in its heyday and splendor.

	Science Fiction
		Novels of utopia and dystopia, the most blatant form of social criticism, provide subtle or blatant critiques of social and political systems.
		These three books, on which several of Asimov's later novels are based, as well as novels by other authors, tell the story of a group of scientists and scholars set up by the psychohistorian Hari Seldon during the decline of the Galactic Empire.
		Because the Foundation has created a religion in which priests educated on Terminus control nuclear power plants, hospitals, and other important technological functions, the solution to this problem requires only to exert this religious power over Anacreon to prevent the war.

	The Foundation Trilogy
		He persuaded me to write a small Foundation story, one that would serve as an introductory section to the first book (so that the first part of the Foundation series was the last written).
		The Foundation series was nominated, and I felt that was going to have to be glory enough for me, since I was sure that Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" would win.
		Besides, before beginning a new Foundation novel I had to immerse myself in the style and atmosphere of the series.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Foundation's Fear
		He is the author of a series of hard SF novels, beginning with In the Ocean of Night (1978) and following quickly with works such as Timescape (1980) and the popular Galactic Center series, including Across the Sea of Suns, Great Sky River (1987), Tides of Light (1989) and Furious Gulf (1994).
		All of Asimov's descriptions of the study which was central to Seldon's life are vague, even in Prelude to Foundation and Forward the Foundation when Seldon is working out the specific laws of psychohistory.
		Future novels in the Second Foundation series will examine Hari Seldon at mid-life in Foundation and Chaos (Greg Bear) and Hari Seldon shortly before his death in Third Foundation (David Brin).

		From the foundation's viewpoint, lack of access to accurate information about both HIV and people affected by the disease presents a major barrier to treating and preventing HIV/AIDS.
		The foundation prefers projects that have promise of making significant contributions and that are new and demonstrational.
		In general, contributions are not made to operating budgets of established organizations, nor does the foundation ordinarily make contributions toward capital expenditures (physical plant, equipment, endowment) or to individuals.

	Foundation's Fear (Site not responding. Last check: )
		You'd think then that the same logic would apply to HarperPrism's decision to publish a "second Foundation trilogy" continuing what is arguably the best series of science fiction novels ever (it won a Hugo saying so in 1966), the "Foundation" series by the late Isaac Asimov.
		FOUNDATION'S FEAR takes place after PRELUDE TO FOUNDATION and centers on scientist Hari Seldon's years developing Psychohistory, the science which will eventually allow him to predict the future.
		I'm particularly fond of novels with academic settings, so I was predisposed to like this.

	"Forward the Foundation" Review
		IT IS POSSIBLE that the late Isaac Asimov knew when he was writing "Forward the Foundation" that it would be his last novel.
		In his last decade or so, Asimov wrote several novels tying together his two most popular series, the "I, Robot" stories and the "Foundation" trilogy, which in its original form was once chosen by the Science Fiction Writers of America as the "best series of all time."
		One of those recent novels was "Prelude to Foundation," in which the founder of "psychohistory," Hari Seldon (whose semi-mystical presence through a series of recordings played long after his death permeates the original "Foundation" stories), is presented as a young man embroiled in thrilling adventures.

	Isaac Asimov FAQ, Part 2/4 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Asimov's favorite novel was _The_Gods_Themselves_, largely because of the middle section, which was both absolutely brilliant and included non-humans and sex (Asimov had often been accused of being unable to write stories with non-humans or sex and therefore leaving them out of his work.) His least favorite novel was _The_Stars_Like_Dust_.
		The first novel, _Foundation's_Fear_, by Gregory Benford, was published in March 1997; the second novel, _Foundation_and_Chaos_, by Greg Bear, was published in March 1998; and the third novel of the trilogy, _Foundation's Triumph_, by David Brin, was published in April 1999.
		According to the afterword in _Foundation's_Fear_, although the three novels are being developed as stand-alone books, they will "carry forward an overarching mystery to its end." The novels were written at the suggestion of Janet Asimov and the representative of the Asimov estate.
