	The Foundation Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Lucas used elements of the Foundation series to construct the universe in which Star Wars is set, including propulsion by hyper-drive, lightsabers (evolved from force field penknives), and the Galactic Empire (although Lucas' Empire was by definition evil, while Seldon openly says that in principle the First Empire is not evil).
		This speculation, however, fails to account for the fact that the term Al-Qaida, Arabic for "The Foundation", was first used by the United States to describe followers of Osama bin Laden and is not used by that group to refer to itself.

		Forward the Foundation, on the other hand was probably the best of the new Foundation novels (as opposed to the original trilogy).
		I'd say Foundation and Earth (and Foundation's Edge) sometimes seem a little less interesting because of the necessity Asimov felt to connect his Foundation universe with the Robot concept and that called for some plot twists and slower parts throughout those books
		October 6th, 2004 07:26 PM I actually really loved Foundations' Edge but thought Foundation and Earth was mediocre at best, probably the worst of the series.

		Members of the First Foundation establish contact with the telepathic robots of the planet Gaia and with their aid go on to search for humanity's long-lost ancestral planet, Earth.
		In foundation's edge the ever mystic foundation and second foundation were reduced to triviality by newcomers on the planet Gaia who have had a superior grip on things all along.
		For me this somewhat spoils the mystique of the first three books, however in "foundation and earth" this storyline is used quite effectively to strengthen the link with the robot series as the search for earth continues.

	Review of Foundation and Earth
		Asimov had been inching the Foundation and robot books together ever since Prelude to Foundation, and here he makes the connection final, solid, explicit and in a way that really bothered me, by introducing R. Daneel Olivaw as an actual character in the Foundation series.
		As with other late Foundation books, the plot is largely a travelogue (with an unusual amount of sex thrown in for Asimov).
		And as with other late Foundation books, Asimov shows increased ability to portray different cultures—and yet, again as elsewhere, they are more interesting than the characters, which seems a weakness.

	Kirsch Foundation Near Earth Objects (NEOs)
		Based on current analysis, 90% of the asteroids that could devastate the Earth have not been identified.
		Although at present there is no asteroid KNOWN to be on a collision course with Earth, the probability of an unknown asteroid larger than one kilometer in diameter hitting in any one year is estimated by Dr. Paul Chodas of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as 1 in 100,000.
		That makes it more likely that you’ll be hit by an asteroid next year than it is that you'll win the lottery or be diagnosed with many deadly diseases.

	Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This is the last book (chronologically) in the Foundation Series, and with Prelude to Foundation, the earliest, the Foundation Series has two excellent bookends, or, perhaps, "foundations", to keep it in place.
		F&E is a continuation of Foundation's Edge, and is the story of Trevize, Pelorat and Bliss/Gaia's quest to find Earth, in an attempt to determine why Trevize's choice for the future of mankind is the right one.
		Whereas the rest of the Foundation Series tends to concentrate on worlds which, after a while, all appear similar, the worlds of F&E are different, frightening, and yet serve Asimov's agendas well.

		It wraps up the idea behind the foundation and settles it to face squarely with WHY things need to be held together, and the justification for arranging things.
		Please note that I read Foundation and Earth BEFORE Forward the Foundation was written, so my opinion may be slightly different than those who read it after.
		Foundation and Earth was the last book of the Foundation Series, but did more than finish that line.

		The story begins immediately after the ending of Foundation's Edge, when Golan Trevize decided the fate of humanity that all should eventually form a single superorganism called Galaxia, enlarging the present superorganism called Gaia.
		The drive of the story is a continuation of the previous book, in that Trevize seeks Earth, mainly to determine why all records of it have been expunged.
		The actual endpoint of their voyage is a nice surprise, in my opinion, but not nearly so much as who we meet at the end, a dear old friend.

		As a resolution to the series it's not bad, but the bulk of the book is little more than an uninteresting travelogue with exactly the same structure as Foundation's Edge and even less substance.
		Still, it's probably best not to speak ill of the dead, and Asimov did a pretty creditable job of tying together the robot novels and the Foundation novels (at least until his disappointing last novel, Prelude to Foundation).
		Anybody who enjoyed the original Foundation series will want to read this book, but be sure to lower your expectations before you do.
