About the author
Isaac Asimov
4,355 books28k followersWorks of prolific Russian-American writer Isaac Asimov include popular explanations of scientific principles,
The Foundation Trilogy
(1951-1953), and other volumes of fiction.
Isaac Asimov, a professor of biochemistry, wrote as a highly successful author, best known for his books.
Asimov, professor, generally considered of all time, edited more than five hundred books and ninety thousand letters and postcards. He published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey decimal classification but lacked only an entry in the category of philosophy (100).
People widely considered Asimov, a master of the genre alongside Robert Anson Heinlein and Arthur Charles Clarke as the "big three" during his lifetime. He later tied Galactic Empire and the Robot into the same universe as his most famous series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those that Heinlein pioneered and Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson previously produced. He penned "Nightfall," voted in 1964 as the best short story of all time; many persons still honor this title. He also produced well mysteries, fantasy, and a great quantity of nonfiction. Asimov used Paul French, the pen name, for the Lucky Starr, series of juvenile novels.
Most books of Asimov in a historical way go as far back to a time with possible question or concept at its simplest stage. He often provides and mentions well nationalities, birth, and death dates for persons and etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Guide to Science, the tripartite set Understanding Physics, and Chronology of Science and Discovery exemplify these books.
Asimov, a long-time member, reluctantly served as vice president of Mensa international and described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs." He took more pleasure as president of the humanist association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, an elementary school in Brooklyn in New York, and two different awards honor his name.

Un resumen de la historia de la humanidad milenio a milenio a cargo de uno de los grandes de la ciencia ficción. En períodos de mil años, Asimov y su coautor Frank White te explican los avances que han llevado a la raza humana al punto en que se encuentra hoy día, contextualizando y prestando atención a todos los lugares en los que surgió y creció la civilización. Una guía sencilla con una perspectiva original para hablar de historia universal.

Libro que abarca el paso del hombre sobre la tierra; más bien un resumen de los actos importantes que surgieron y marcaron de una o otra forma a la humanidad.
Todo es eso guiado con la ya conocida forma de escribir y relatar del autor, lectura ágil y entretenida que hace que el libro sea muy fácil de digerir y para terminar otorga unas páginas para la reflexión y el cuestionamiento del cómo vivimos y su proyección del futuro.
