A note for parents

This is a reference dictionary about Thomas Hardy's literary works, not a novel or story intended for children. It is a scholarly resource designed to help readers understand Hardy's characters and settings across his body of work. Without knowing which Hardy novels are included or how mature their content is, I cannot reliably assess this for a family audience.

Merely hinted at in previous books, visited off and on for historical background - finally here delved into as deep as one can go - the demystified Hari Seldon. This follows about 40 years of his life, and traces his progress in the development of Psychohistory - the pseudo-mathematical science that would one day save the galaxy. If you have read the Foundation series, either in it's entirety or just pieces, this is a must read. It also (if memory serves) is the last book Asimov wrote before his death - the final pages describing Hari Seldon's final moments of life mirroring his own. A truly beautiful read.
