WINNER OF THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST ALL-TIME SERIES The Foundation series is Isaac Asimov's iconic masterpiece. Unfolding against the backdrop of a crumbling Galactic Empire, the story of Hari Seldon's two Foundations is a lasting testament to an extraordinary imagination, one whose unprecedented scale shaped science fiction as we know it today. In a time before the Foundations, psychohistory's creator Hari Seldon is made to stand before the Emperor of the crumbling Galactic Empire to present how his scientific theory of predicting the future might be applied to the real world. However, Hari refuses to deploy his theory for political gain, setting off instead with reporter Chetter Hummin in quest of a place to safely apply his theory: Earth, the original home of humanity. All records of Earth have been lost to time. Hari will therefore have to look back into the past, in order to seal the future of humanity for ever.

The bestselling feminist book, now adapted for a young adult audienceBefore the 1960s, sex before marriage was frowned upon and pornography was difficult to get hold of. We are now much freer to do what we like – there has been a ‘sexual revolution’. This must be a good thing, right?Wrong, argues Louise Perry. These changes have had many negative consequences, especially for girls and women. The main winners from a world of rough sex, hook-ups and freely available porn are a tiny minority of rich and powerful men. Women have been forced to adapt to these changes in ways that often harm them. Louise Perry carefully guides readers through the difficulties of sex in the 21st century. Her advice will be invaluable to all young women and men who may be feeling lost in a world where ‘doing it’ can sometimes seem dangerous or confusing.

Je tomu už více než sedmdesát let od doby, kdy velmistr SF žánru Isaac Asimov začal budovat vesmír svého celosvětově úspěšného cyklu Nadace. Od té doby se miliony čtenářů nechaly fascinovat poutavým příběhem, jenž přesáhl tisíce let budoucího vývoje lidstva a zavedl je na desítky cizích světů. Román A zrodí se Nadace byl dokončen těsně před autorovou smrtí jako sedmá, závěrečná část románové ságy, která získala věhlasnou žánrovou cenu Hugo jako Nejlepší science fi ction série všech dob. V předchozích svazcích byl Hari Seldon, geniální zakladatel Nadace, pouhou historickou postavou. Návratem do dob jeho života vyplnil Asimov důležitou chybějící část svého epického příběhu. Autor se netajil tím, že postavu Hariho Seldona vytvořil jako vlastní alter ego, a tak je román ještě dojemnější tím, že v něm Asimov Seldonovou smrtí uzavřel celý cyklus jen krátce před svou vlastní. Vstupme tedy posedmé a naposledy do světa Nadace a poznejme dosud utajované skutečnosti nadaného matematika, jenž se snažil zachránit lidstvo před neodvolatelně se blížící dobou temna.

Jednu z klasických antologií Isaaka Asimova lze po více než čtvrt století od prvního vydání označit za "paleofuturistickou", protože co se v našem světě mění rychleji než počítače a vše kolem nich? Povídky v tomto souboru napsali Robert Silverberg, Joe Gores, Edward Wellen, Edward Hoch, Gordon R. Dickson, Stan Dryer, J. T. Mcintosh, Poul Anderson a sám Isaac Asimov. Jelikož jsou to příběhy především humoristické, nijak nezestárly, a navíc se dá říct, že tyhle historky o neutuchajících lidských snahách využít a zneužít počítače k vlastním záměrům získaly časem roztomilou patinu.
