	Foundation and Empire - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Foundation and Empire is a novel written by Isaac Asimov in 1952.

		We learn in Foundation's Edge that the Mule was a rogue member of the planet/society Gaia.

	The Foundation Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, the Foundation slides gradually into oligarchy and dictatorship prior to the appearance of the Mule, but, for the most part, the book treats that change as being necessary in Hari Seldon's plan, rather than mull over whether it is on the whole positive or negative.
		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.

		Foundation marks the first of a series of tales set so far in the future that Earth is all but forgotten by humans who live throughout the galaxy.
		Foundation is the story of one man's attempt to positively influence human history beyond the grave for centuries to come.
		Foundation was certainly part of this era, defining two major ideas: that the entire galaxy would be populated by humans (no aliens around - an early look at the idea that we might just be unique), and that mass human behavior can be codified in mathematical algorithms and to a certain extent is predictable.

		Second Foundation, published in 1953, is the final book in the original Foundation trilogy, after Foundation (1951), and Foundation and Empire (1952).

		The fact that an increasing number of Americans now see through what these organizations and their elites have done and are rebelling against them is an encouraging trend and one of the strongest signs of health in our society.
		The clearest indication of what has happened to our foundational republican way of life and the ideal of self-government (not just in the political but also in the personal, moral sense) comes from government itself.
		The legal, peaceful, and democratic rebellions that they are organizing in their own communities to take back their country and their culture are merely the first sounds of the coming battle to create a new republic on the ruins of the old one that we have lost.

	Isaac Asimov's The Foundation Trilogy
		When the Galactic Empire began to die, when the ends of the Galaxy reverted to barbarism and dropped away, Hari Seldon and his band of Encyclopedists planted a colony -- the Foundation -- to incubate art, science, and technology, and form the nucleus of the Second Empire.
		The course of the Foundation's growth was plotted according to the science of psychohistory -- conditions were arranged to bring about a series of crises forcing it to move rapidly along the route to future Empire...
		Foundation and Empire tells the story of the period of disruption, after the Foundation has attained peripheral power -- of struggles between petty kingdoms and the Foundation's emergence as a state strong enough finally to defeat the decrepit First Empire.

	Review of Foundation and Empire
		Although this is the second "Foundation" book, it’s the first one I read—the bookstore where I bought the series didn’t have Foundation in stock.
		Foundation and Empire is probably the best-written overall of the original Foundation books, although it ranks slightly behind Second Foundation in my own personal ratings.
		Asimov had, by this point, realized that the inevitability of the Foundation’s ultimate victory had robbed his story of some of their potential power, and here he totally subverts that, and does it well.

	FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE Isaac Asim
		Foundation And Empire, by Isaac Asimov is the second book in the original Foundation trilogy, which won a Hugo Award in 1965 for Best All-Time Series.
		In reality these two Foundations will be the cornerstones of the Second Empire, which Seldon’s Psychohistory- a deterministic pseudoscience, predicts will cut the interregnum down to s ingle millennium.
		Yet, all the kvetching over a crisis that fails to materialize- as the Empire’s final defeat is both swift and anticlimactic, serves a real purpose: to show that both in the real world, and the book’s world, people can misinterpret a crisis that is not, all the while ignoring a greater one on the horizon.
