	Second Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Second Foundation is the third novel of the Foundation series.
		The members of the (First) Foundation are now fully aware that the Second Foundation is out there (they had known of its existence all along, but it had never sunk in until they were able to turn the Mule back).
		The Second Foundation was founded by Hari Seldon as a budding colony of mentalics, people with telepathic abilities, located at Star's End, a planet vaguely referred to by Seldon.

		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 mulling 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.

	The Second Foundation
		The Second Foundation is a hybrid, developmental form of communitarian association, an adjustable exploration into quasi-communal economic group-sufficiency.
		The Second Foundation tries to strike a balance between, on the one hand, a planned central economy in which there are neither very rich nor very poor members, and, on the other, the incentives and disincentives of private control over wealth.
		On October 20, 1988, the Second Foundation was incorporated in the State of Tennessee and on August 30, 1990, it received IRS recognition under section 501(d).

		But it is rumored that there is a Second Foundation hidden somewhere at the end of the Galaxy, established to preserve the knowledge of mankind through the long centuries of barbarism.
		The final--and arguably the best--volume of the original trilogy, "Second Foundation" expands Asimov's premise that a solution found in one era is often the grief of the next generation.
		The first half of "Second Foundation" is a continuation of the Mule's reign of terror that began in the second half of "Foundation and Empire"; they are the only two stories in the series that share a lead character.

		Whilst it is best to read second foundation after 'foundation' and 'foundation and empire' it is not essential, as the prologue fills you in on the basics of the previous two novels.
		The book goes a long way to explain the purpose of the mysterious second foundation, but the main focus is on its location, and the search for it by both the mule and the first foundation.
		The most interesting parts are meetings of the second foundation members, which explain the inner workings of the seldon plan, along with how the arrival of the mule affected it.

		Second Foundation is the fifth novel in Isaac Asimov¡¦s classic science-fiction Foundation series.
		Originally, it was the final novel in the Foundation trilogy, but Asimov penned further novels in the saga later in his life, increasing the total length to seven novels, and changing the central themes to incorporate most of his oeuvre, namely his Robot series and Empire trilogy.
		For the Mule had conquered the Foundation, and he was using the Foundation's technology to gradually control all of known space, he was creating his own Empire, slowly bending the Seldon Plan to the point of oblivion.

		This is an interesting and useful addition to the Foundation sage it does not have the pace and "keep reading" quality that marks the original Foundation series by Asimov himself.

		The First Foundation comprises physicists, chemists, biologists, etc. Their first job is to preserve the scientific knowledge of the galaxy, which would otherwise largely be lost.
		And their second is, by working at the leading edge of the natural sciences, to become a fountainhead of technological know-how which, irresistibly encroaching on the bellicose darkness sprung up all around it, would in a comparatively short time develop into the kernel of a new civilisation.
		And their second challenge is to so strengthen their mental powers that in time they will be able to influence events anywhere in the galaxy by concentration alone.

	Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov
		Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation tell the story of Hari Seldon, a brilliant visionary who synthesized history, psychology, and mathematical probability to shape a bold commandment for the future and steer humanity through a series of brutal eras.
		He called his sanctuary the Foundation and designed it to withstand a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that would last for the next thirty thousand years.
		Isaac Asimov began his Foundation series at the age of twenty-one, not realizing that it would one day be considered a cornerstone of science fiction.

	Amazon.com: Books: Foundation's Triumph (Second Foundation Trilogy) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Second, I liked the later Foundation novels by Asimov almost as much as I liked the orginal three novels.
		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.
		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.

	Second Foundation
		In the story line, there were two foundations created to keep the known universe from plunging into the 1000 year dark ages predicted by psychohistorian Harry Seldon.
		Eventually the Second Foundation led to an approach that merged mankind with the planet.
		It should arise from rural and underserved communities in admissions and in design, with training as much as possible in underserved communities (as orientation, training, and a source of workforce also), and such a program should be expected to return graduates into underserved communities (where young professionals mean jobs, leadership, economic impact, demand education, etc.).
