	Isaac Asimov
		Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series, which he later combined with two of his other series, the Isaac Asimov's Galactic Empire SeriesGalactic Empire Series and Isaac Asimov's Robot SeriesRobot series.
		Asimov once explained that his reluctance to write about aliens came from an incident early in his career when ''Astounding'''s editor John Campbell rejected one of his early science fiction stories because the alien characters were portrayed as superior to the humans.
		Asimov was born around January 2, 1920 (his date of birth for official purposes—the precise date is not certain) in Petrovichi, near Smolensk, Russia, to Anna Rachel and Judah Asimov, a Jewish family.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Encyclopedia Galactica
		Perhaps Isaac Asimov's most famous creation is his Foundation series of novels, which, towards the end of Asimov's life, came to include his robot novels and short stories as well as his three Galactic Empire novels.
		Asimov created the Foundation in theory to produce the Encyclopedia Galactica, meant to categorize and maintain as much knowledge of human existence as possible.
		Having just passed the sixth anniversary of Isaac Asimov's death, one would have to think that Asimov would be honored by the time and resources Mike Carlin has expended.

	physics - Science fiction
		One could make an argument, for example, classifying Isaac Asimov's Foundation series as part of the "soft" subgenre, since the series focuses on the vast sociological movements of the dying Galactic Empire.
		On the other hand, one of the most frequent comments made about Asimov's work is that his stories lack description, and that there are few sharply memorable characters scattered throughout the whole Foundation epic; this would seem to go against the grain of the argument that Soft SF necessarily has deeper characterization.
		For example, Isaac Asimov's The Gods Themselves revolves around the strong nuclear force but does not include descriptions of gluons or quarks, essential components of the modern understanding of nuclear physics.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Foundation and Chaos: The Second Foundation Trilogy
		The Foundation series of the late Isaac Asimov and its continuation by Brin and Bear is a work of Creative Geniuses, the modern analogue of the classic Shakespeare.
		Bear writes with a style uncannily similar to Foundation creator Isaac Asimov's, and he even manages to incorporate some of Asimov's own writing in the novel.
		Asimov would have been proud to see his Foundation series added to with this wild tale.
