Forward the Foundation (Foundation Novels)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1994

Best outside of the original trilogy
I am a huge Asimov fan, but I have always been dissapointed by his later fiction, which never seems to have the life and tight plotting that his earlier stuff does. That is, untll AI read Forward the Foundation. Returning to the style of the original books, Forward ...

The Naked Sun

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1991

Asimov takes a murder mystery WAY beyond merely clever!
A thousand years earlier, mankind had split into two groups who now hated one another with a visceral prejudice born out of fear and a complete lack of cultural understanding of one another. Spacers, those who had seen their destiny in the stars, left earth with the ...

Caves of Steel (Robot City)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1991

The Laws of Robotics ... this is where it all started!
A thousand years ago, mankind began the process of leaving mother Earth and colonizing the galaxy. Fifty planets have been now been colonized by thinly spread populations of hardy pioneering spirits - rough and ready types willing to work in hostile environments with ...

Prelude to Foundation (Foundation Novels)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1989

Asimov's greatest
This book was written 25 years after the others in the series, and Asimov's writing skills had obviously matured and improved. He was a master writer in his 20's but he continued to get better. The characters in this work are more believable, and in this book he ...

Foundation and Empire (Foundation Novels)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1991

Great New Edition
I was very happy to see and read the new edition. The Empire strikes back! A whole new world explodes before your eyes. Now, we understand this genius. Never too late to revisit his masterpieces! What a genius!!!!!!!!!!

I, Robot (The Robot)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 2008

I, Robot
One of the most important and influential sci-fi books ever, and a prime example of Asimov's best work. You might have seen the film, which draws upon the primary theme of robotic "awakening" and some of the story aspects - but forget about it, and read the book ...

Second Foundation (Foundation Novels)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1991

Fun Fun Fun
Great book! Third in the series of three novels, all three are worth the read. I read all three in about two and half weeks. It might be interesting to read them in conjunction with Kuhn's Structures of Scientific Revolutions. Every "Seldon Crisis" brings about a ...

Foundation (Foundation Novels)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1991

Good for digestion
Great book! First in the series of three novels, all three are worth the read. I read all three in about two and half weeks. It might be interesting to read them in conjunction with Kuhn's Structures of Scientific Revolutions. Every "Seldon Crisis" brings about a ...

Foundation and Earth

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 2004

Another major work by Isaac Asimov
This book by Isaac Asimov is fascinating in two ways--first, it is the last of the Foundation series; second, it is another link between two of the greatest series in science fiction, the Foundation series and the Robot series. As always with Asimov, there are the ...

Foundation's Edge (Foundation Novels)

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1991

Shocking, Fascinating, and Intense....Read it
After finishing the initial Foundation trilogy about a year ago, I took a break. (I am a collector and had bought every book in the Foundation series all at once) I was completely satisfied with the way the trilogy concluded. I did not feel the story could move ...

A History of Mathematics

Carl B. Boyer, Uta C. Merzbach, ...

Wiley, 1991

Everyone should read this book
Hey I read this book loved it, and everyone should read it! Hey I am no brain, I do not belong to Mensa, nor am I endowed with any superior intelect, I am an average guy, Just a B student, who fell in love with this book. Anybody if they really want can understand this ...

Robots and Empire

Isaac Asimov

Collins, 1994

The Emergence of Sentience
VoodooLord7 provides an extremely enlightened review of the book, especially in his explanation of where the book fits within the works of Asimov. However, I would like to give an alternate view of the book, as far as a stand alone creation is concerned. Far from being ...

Asimov's Guide to the Bible: A Historical Look at the Old and New Testaments

Isaac Asimov

Gramercy, 1988

Must have hot Biblical Historicity students
This book can be only described with one word. AMAZING! The insight and knowledge of the late Isaac Asimov is shown here with such an amazing simplicity. He can explain the mystery of life in laymen's terms with extreme ease. This book, while vast and detailed, ...

The Robots of Dawn

Isaac Asimov

Spectra, 1994

Asimov's Robots of Dawn
Asimov's "Robots of Dawn" is a fascinating science fiction mystery. It is also a headline breaking analysis of "Robot ethics" in a secular world. After reading the novel several times, the audio book version brought new life and meaning to the story details.

Robot Visions

Isaac Asimov, Ralph McQuarrie

Roc, 1991

Love Robots!
