Caveats
Edition
We have compiled this index from a mixture of paperbacks and hardbacks (Code, PB or HB). Ifyou do not have the same version that we used in the index, you are not out of luck, because ourindex lists the essay in which the name occurs, as well as the page number.
Thus, the first two listings for Brahe, Tycho are:FF: 8-97; 13-158SC: 3-38
FF = Fact and Fancy. 8-97 means he appears in the 8th essay (which will remain the sameregardless of edition) and 97 is the page number. He is also mentioned by Asimov in the 13th
essay (regardless of edition) on page 158.
SC = The Stars in Their Courses, and Asimov mentions Brahe in the third essay in that book(regardless of edition), on page 38.
Therefore, even if you don't have the same edition, a quick browsing through the essay inquestion will find the name.
Family
Asimov's mentions of his family in various essays are not included in this index. Friends of his,such as science fiction writers, are included. (In a couple of essays where Asimov discussesnames from the Bible, these also aren't mentioned.)
Alphabetizing Conventions
Because of the vast number of people whose names end in De, we've placed their names underthe patronym. Thus, you'll find Hernan de Soto under Soto, Hernan de. L. Sprague de Camp isunder Camp, L. Sprague de.
However, other, less numerous names, like "del" are filed under del. Thus, Lester del Rey isunder "del Rey, Lester."
Birth and death dates:
Where possible, birth and death dates are given.
(1924 – ): Means the person is still alive at the time of publication of this index(1924 – ?) or (? - 1924): means that one of two chronological numbers isn't known.(? – ?): Means: who knows? (If you know, send us an email!)
