His early career, dominated by science fiction, began with short stories in 1939 and novels in 1950. This lasted until about 1958, all but ending after publication of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Naked_Sun" title="The Naked Sun">The Naked Sun</a></i> (1957). He began publishing nonfiction as co-author of a college-level textbook called <i>Biochemistry and Human Metabolism</i>. Following the brief orbit of the first human-made satellite <a href="/wiki/Sputnik_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Sputnik I">Sputnik I</a> by the USSR in 1957, he wrote more nonfiction, particularly <a href="/wiki/Popular_science" title="Popular science">popular science</a> books, and less science fiction. Over the next quarter-century, he wrote only four science fiction novels, and 120 nonfiction books. </p><p>Starting in 1982, the second half of his science fiction career began with the publication of <i><a href="/wiki/Foundation%27s_Edge" title="Foundation's Edge">Foundation's Edge</a></i>. From then until his death, Asimov published several more sequels and prequels to his existing novels, tying them together in a way he had not originally anticipated, making a unified series. There are many inconsistencies in this unification, especially in his earlier stories.<sup id="cite_ref-121" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-121"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>113<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Doubleday_(publisher)" title="Doubleday (publisher)">Doubleday</a> and <a href="/wiki/Houghton_Mifflin" class="mw-redirect" title="Houghton Mifflin">Houghton Mifflin</a> published about 60% of his work up to 1969, Asimov stating that "both represent a father image".<sup id="cite_ref-nichols19690803_67-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nichols19690803-67"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Asimov believed his most enduring contributions would be his "<a href="/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics" title="Three Laws of Robotics">Three Laws of Robotics</a>" and the <a href="/wiki/Foundation_Series" class="mw-redirect" title="Foundation Series"><i>Foundation</i> series</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-122" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-122"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>114<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <i><a href="/wiki/Oxford_English_Dictionary" title="Oxford English Dictionary">Oxford English Dictionary</a></i> credits his science fiction for introducing into the English language the words "<a href="/wiki/Robotics" title="Robotics">robotics</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Positronic_brain" title="Positronic brain">positronic</a>" (an entirely fictional technology), and "<a href="/wiki/Psychohistory_(fictional)" class="mw-redirect" title="Psychohistory (fictional)">psychohistory</a>" (which is also used for a <a href="/wiki/Psychohistory" title="Psychohistory">different study</a> on historical motivations).
