Other Words of Wisdom:

“Spend more time alone with your thoughts, because the presence of others can inhibit your creativity. Spend time with just your thoughts—distracted by neither other people or technology—and your ideas will be unfettered.” ~ Isaac Asimov

Personally, my favourite book written by Isaac Asimov is “An Intelligent Man's Guide to Science” a general guide to the sciences written by Isaac Asimov. It was first published in 1960, so it is now a little out of date. However, a subsequent version: “The new intelligent man's guide to science Hardcover – Jan 1 1965” is still available from Amazon.

“Isaac Asimov (/ˈaɪzɨk ˈæzɨmɒv/;[2] born Isaak Yudovich Ozimov; circa January 2, 1920[1] – April 6, 1992) was an American author and professor of biochemistry at Boston University, best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. Asimov was prolific and wrote or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards.[3] His books have been published in 9 of the 10 major categories of the Dewey Decimal Classification.[4]. I remember reading once that, since personal computers had not been available, he wrote (typed everything on IBM, then Selectric typewriters ~ and that he was so prolific he wore out 10, which he keep lining a shelf in. Towards the end of his career, IBM simply gave him those typewriters. I’m not alone in my love for the Selectric typewriter.  According to IBM’s website, “Renowned writers who have depended on the Selectric include Hunter S. Thompson, John Irving, Isaac Asimov, David Mamet, Katherine Anne Porter, James Merrill, Ralph Ellison, Philip K. Dick and David Sedaris, among others.”  People have loved and used the Selectric for decades!  What a great machine! - See more at: http://kytyper.com/2015/02/06/think-ibm-selectric-best-electric-typewriter-ever-made/
Isaac Asimov Home Page. Here you'll find a comprehensive collection of resources pertaining to Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), the quintessential author, who in his lifetime wrote over 500 books that enlightened, entertained, and spanned the realm of human knowledge.
Like the character Sheldon (played by Jim Parsons), on the TV series “The Big Bang Theory” it is thought by many the Asimov had an eidetic memory (ie: sometimes called a photographic memory.) Asimov was a long-time member and vice president of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly;[9] he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs".[10] He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association.[11] The asteroid 5020 Asimov, a crater on the planet Mars,[12] a Brooklyn, New York City elementary school, and three distinct awards have been named for writer, chemist, and humanist Isaac Asimov. Three distinct awards have been named for writer, chemist, and humanist Isaac Asimov:

• The Isaac Asimov Award for Undergraduate Excellence in Science Fiction and Fantasy Short Story Writing is the original name of an annual award open to undergraduate college students and given to the author of the best science fiction or fantasy short story. Established by the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction and the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts, the award is typically given for character-driven stories of the type published in that magazine. The award is now known as the Dell Magazines Award.[1]
• The skeptical organization CSICOP created an Isaac Asimov Award, established in 1994 "to honor Asimov for his extraordinary contributions to science and humanity". The first recipient was Asimov's friend Carl Sagan.[2] Stephen Jay Gould was also a winner.[3]
• In 1998, the American Humanist Association awarded its first Isaac Asimov Award to Eugenie Scott. Awardees since then have included Robert Sapolsky, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Steve Wozniak, Richard Leakey and Lynn J. Rothschild.
