Their short-story format was expanded upon 40 years later by Asimov to form the more comprehensive books."--Introduction 520 $a "Set in the far future, Foundation envisions a Galactic Empire that has thrived for 12,000 years, but whose decline into an age of barbarism lasting some thirty millennia is imminent--if the predictions of renegade psycho-historian Hari Seldon are accurate. Hoping to shorten the interval of this impending new Dark Age, Seldon convinces the Empire's Commission of Public Safety to allow him enact a diversionary plan--one full of surprising subterfugres and intrigues intended to create and protect a Foundation on which the future Empire will be erected. 'Foundation' and 'Empire' advances the story farther into the future, in which a technologically advanced Foundation triumphs over attacking forces of the collapsing Empire. Yet even as the Foundation emerges valiantly, in fulfillment of Hari Seldon's scheme, at the far corners of the Empire a powerful mutant, whose existence was never accounted for in Seldon's projections, emerges to overwhelm the Foundation and establish his own tyrannical version of the Empire. In 'Second Foundation', a new Second Foundation, whose whereabouts have been kept secret from the original Foundation for safety's sake, asserts itself as the true fulfillment of Hari Seldon's plans for the Empire--and thereby pits itself against a Foundation resentful of its usurped authority."--Barnesandnoble.com 600 10 $a Asimov, Isaac, $d 1920-1992. $t Foundation trilogy $v Adaptations. 600 10 $a Seldon, Hari $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Seldon, Hari $c (Fictitious character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111370 630 07 $a Foundation trilogy (Asimov, Isaac) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01396979 650 0 $a Life on other planets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychohistory $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Vie extraterrestre $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Psychohistoire $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Life on other planets. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00998301 650 7 $a Psychohistory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081321 655 4 $a Science fiction. 655 7 $a Scripts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424189 655 7 $a Adaptations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423910 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Radio scripts. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Textes d'eÌmissions radiophoniques. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Asimov, Isaac, $d 1920-1992. $t Foundation trilogy. 710 2 $a British Broadcasting Corporation. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BFA48856214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
