Description: Dear Professor Einstein Alice Calaprice (Flat Signed) Evelyn Einstein (Flat Signed)Robert Schulman (Flat Signed) Description: Amherst, New York: Prometheus Books, 2002, First Edition / First Printing with complete number line; Flat Signed by all three Authors on the First Free End-paper. Alice Calaprice has compiled a delightful and charming collection of more than 60 letters, most never published before, from children to perhaps the greatest scientist of all time. Enhancing this correspondence are numerous photographs showing Einstein amid children, wearing an Indian headdress, carrying a puppet of himself, donning furry slippers, among many other wonderful pictures. They reveal the intimate human side of the great public persona, a man who, though he spent his days contemplating the impersonal abstractions of mathematics and physics, was very fond of children and enjoyed being in their company. Condition: Fine clean, tight and bright hardcover in a Fine price-unclipped Dust Jacket, clearly well maintained by a concerned collector. Additional Information: Alice Calaprice (born in Berlin, Germany 1941) is a renowned authority on Albert Einstein and the author of several popular books on Einstein, including The Ultimate Quotable Einstein (Princeton). She immigrated to San Francisco with her mother and sister in 1951, and is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley. After moving to Princeton, NJ, in 1970 with her physicist husband and young children, she went to work at the Einstein Archive in 1978 at the Institute for Advanced Study. She later moved to the Princeton University Press offices and specialized in editing science and math manuscripts. She copyedited all fourteen currently published volumes of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein and the accompanying English-translation volumes Evelyn Einstein (1941 – 2011) was the adopted daughter of Hans Albert Einstein, the son of Albert Einstein. She graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a master's degree in literature, and had several jobs in her life including animal control officer, cult deprogrammer, and reserve police officer in Berkeley, California. Robert Schulman is a renowned Einstein Scholar, former director of the Einstein Papers Project and editor of the Collected Papers of Albert Einstein. Cavemodern was founded in 2005 as a home for important "modern" books and works on paper. "Cave" meant a home for both the tangible touch of beautiful objects and a cozy virtual den for armchair exploration. "Modern" starts with the art and literature that went beyond realistic depictions to expressive use of color, non-traditional materials, and new techniques and mediums. Our focus has evolved to be on important pieces by cultural innovators that take their work in new, unexpected, and modern directions.
