Isaac Asimov was a Russian-born, American author, a professor of biochemistry, and a highly successful writer, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books.

Professor Asimov is generally considered one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).

Asimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series; his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. He penned numerous short stories, among them "Nightfall", which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time, a title many still honor. He also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as a great amount of nonfiction. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French.

Most of Asimov's popularized science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples include his Guide to Science, the three volume set Understanding Physics, and Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery.

Asimov was a long-time member and Vice President of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs" He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, a Brooklyn, NY elementary school, and two different Isaac Asimov Awards are named in his honor.

For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future -- to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire -- both scientists and scholars -- and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.

But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun -- or fight them and be destroyed.

刚看过的那篇小说,里面有个说法很有趣,虽然是男人恭维女人的话,然而能做到如此别致有见地的恭维,也是难得呢。 你在我眼里是一个没有年龄的女人,有时从容淡定,好像历尽风霜;有时又慌里慌张,不知所措的样子,好像是一个从未离开过父母的小丫头;还有你对世界充满着好奇...

1)之前正式出版的基地系列中文简体版,是叶李华先生最早的译本,是他在学生时代译的。 2)十年后,叶李华又重新修订了一遍,改正了很多错漏之处,这便是台湾2005~2007之间出的译本。我们这次出版的2012年中文简体译本,就是以这个译本为基础的。 关于这个译本的介绍,详情请...

《基地》这本书实在是太宏大了。无论在宏观架构还是细节处理上都闪现着天才的火花。 心理史学很有创意。借用其中的理论来解释经济学较之物理学不够精确的原因很有意思。 作者在书中用科幻的视角将西方的历史重述了一遍,其中也可以看到西方经济史、思想史变迁的影子。

这种类型的书,我以前是从来没接触过的。 银河,帝国,基地什么的,好像兴趣不大,虽说也是幻想,但似乎当然比不上哈里•波特陪着我一路的成长记忆。 开头十多页也是读得很不耐烦的,号称“人类历史上最好看的系列小说”,如果不给我带来最顶级的阅读享受,我当然就有理由不...

好吧,虽说亲爱的编辑妹子看见了或许会生气,甚至会拍桌子批评我——居然说这样的话,怎么看都不像正面的书评嘛——但我不得不承认,我并不能算是《基地》系列的疯狂拥趸,至少现在不能算是了。为什么?因为我对这套书的感情,已经从奉为圭臬,听不得半句坏话,变成了“啊,这...

我总是觉得阿西莫夫的科普书要比他的科幻小说更好看...

欧洲历史的缩微再现。英雄,自觉或不自觉把握住时代脉搏的人,自愿成为世界精神的仆人。
