!!''Isaac Asimov Presents: The Great Science Fiction Stories, Volume 14 (1952)'' provides examples of:
* {{Biography}}: Each story is prefaced by a short description of why this story (from this author) was chosen to represent one of the nineteen best stories of the year along with a paragraph from Creator/IsaacAsimov's perspective.
* BornInTheWrongCentury: Creator/AlfredBester's "Literature/HobsonsChoice": The main character lives in the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse. He believes he lives in the worst time ever and dreams of escaping to the past. He discovers [[TimeTravel time travelers]] appearing from a small town and finds out that they are being sent there as a form of therapy because they believe that his time period is a GoldenAge. The time travel technicians point out to him that in real life it would be nearly impossible for anyone to adapt adequately to live in a past time period. The time travelers are being sent back as a form of therapy to get them to readjust to life in their present, and most soon come back after finding they can't live in that time period. It is also pointed out that there is probably no point in time that someone, somewhere, and somewhen doesn't think is a golden age
* FantasticScience: Creator/WalterMMillerJr's "Literature/CommandPerformance": Kenneth Grearly calls themselves a psychophysicist, someone who studies the physics of things like {{Telepathy}}. They chose that field of study because they have the ability to share feelings and thoughts with other people.
* FlatWorld: Creator/PhilipJoseFarmer's "[[Literature/SailOnSailOn Sail On! Sail On!]]": A grimly amusing AlternateHistory story of how [[spoiler:Christopher Columbus discovered that the world is flat]].
* MasterOfIllusion: Creator/WalterMMillerJr's "Literature/CommandPerformance": Kenneth Grearly has practiced his {{telepathy}} enough to conjure false images into another person's mind. He tries to control Lisa Waverly with this until she turns it around, making him believe in phantom cars, causing him to leap into the path of a real car.
* {{Mutants}}: Creator/WalterMMillerJr's "Literature/CommandPerformance": Kenneth and Lisa are humans who have developed {{telepathy}}, and Kenneth points out in a dream sending that they are probably the result of a similar mutation.
* PstandardPsychicPstance: Creator/WalterMMillerJr's "Literature/CommandPerformance": Kenneth Grearly sends her his vision of her appearance while placing one hand to his temple.
