 a>&nbsp\;</em>by Isaac Asimov.</p>\n<p>"Overview: For twelve thousand year
 s the galactic empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Se
 ldon\, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory\, can see int
 o the future--to a dark age of ignorance\, barbarism\, and warfare that wi
 ll last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind\, Se
 ldon gathers the best minds in the empire--both scientists and scholars--a
 nd brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a b
 eacon of hope for a future generations. He calls his sanctuary the foundat
 ion. But soon the fledgling foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrup
 t 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 ov
 errun--or fight them and be destroyed." MCPL Catalog<strong></strong></p>\
