Pais Abraham
'Subtle is the Lord."; The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein
New York: Oxford University Press 1982. Presumed First U. S. Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Good. xvi 552 8 pages. Frontis illustration. Footnotes. Appendices. Einstein Chronology. Name Index. Subject Index. DJ has wear tears soiling and chips. Abraham Pais May 19 1918 - July 28 2000 was a Dutch-born American physicist and science historian. Pais earned his Ph.D. from University of Utrecht just prior to a Nazi ban on Jewish participation in Dutch universities during World War II. When the Nazis began the forced relocation of Dutch Jews he went into hiding but was later arrested and saved only by the end of the war. He then served as an assistant to Niels Bohr in Denmark and was later a colleague of Albert Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey. Pais wrote books documenting the lives of these two great physicists and the contributions they and others made to modern physics. He was a physics professor at Rockefeller University until his retirement. Since the death of Albert Einstein in 1955 there have been many books and articles written about the man and a number of attempts to "explain" relativity. Throughout the preparation of this book Pais has had complete access to the Einstein Archives and the invaluable guidance of the late Helen Dukas--formerly Einstein's private secretary Written with Pais' intimate and incomparable knowledge of Einstein Subtle is the Lord will delight and inspire anyone fascinated by the man whose revolutionary ideas have defined modern physics.

Kaplan Chaim Aron and Katsh Abraham I. Translator and Editor
The Warsaw Diary of Chaim A. Kaplan
New York: Collier Books 1973. Revised Edition. First Collier Books Edition stated. Presumed First Printing. Trade paperback. Good. 410 2 p. maps. 21 cm. Occasional footnotes. Index. Previous owner's mailing label on half-title page. Embossed stamp on title page. Format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8 inches. Translation of Megilat yisurin. Originally published as The Scroll of Agony this is a classic depiction of the Holocaust. Carefully hidden and preserved in a kerosene can twenty years after the annihilation of the Warsaw Ghetto it was discovered. Now reissued with recently found entries spanning April 4 1941 through May 2 1942 and a new Preface by Abraham H. Katsh it is an extraordinary first-person record of the Nazi occupation and destruction of Warsaw's Jewish community. From an on-line posting on Abraham I. Katsh: "Polish-born American educator and researcher who was a scholar of Judaica and was credited with the addition of modern Hebrew to the curricula of American colleges; during the Cold War he persuaded Soviet officials to allow him to study and microfilm--and thus make available to scholars--thousands of Jewish documents they had seized and hidden b. Aug. 10 1908 --d. July 21 1998." Excerpts from The Jewish Virtual Library biography "Kaplan Chaim Aron 1880-1942 educator and diarist of the Holocaust. In 1902 Kaplan founded a pioneering elementary Hebrew school of which he was principal for 40 years.Kaplan began a personal diary as early as 1933. This trained him for the mission he undertook at the beginning of World War II to devote all his efforts to preserving a record for posterity.his intention of objectivity is carried out with remarkable tenacity and with increasing dedication in the face of hardship as the dreadful events increased his own physical and emotional suffering and his anguish at the mounting tragedy around him.The diary has been preserved in toto having been smuggled out of the Warsaw Ghetto before its total destruction. In 1942 he gave it to a Jewish friend named Rubinsztejn who was working daily at forced labor outside the ghetto. Rubinsztejn smuggled the notebooks out one by one. At the worst moments on the brink of destruction Kaplan sustained himself with the hope that the diary would be saved; the fate of his chronicle was his main concern. The diary has been translated into English German French Danish and Japanese. Collier Books paperback

Aldrin Buzz with Abraham Ken
No Dream Is Too High; Life Lessons From a Man Who Walked on the Moon
Washington DC: National Geographic 2016. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 223 1 pages. Illustrations. Buzz Aldrin born Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr.; January 20 1930 is an American engineer former astronaut and Command Pilot in the United States Air Force. As Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 11 mission he and mission commander Neil Armstrong were the first two humans to land on the Moon. Aldrin set foot on the Moon at 03:15:16 on July 21 1969 UTC 9 minutes after Armstrong first touched the surface. One of his first missions was on Gemini 12 where he successfully proved that extravehicular activity EVA could be performed by astronauts spending over 5 hours outside the craft thus achieving the goals of the Gemini program and paving the way for the Apollo program. Derived from a Kirkus review: The astronaut recounts life lessons learned from his historic Apollo 11 moonwalk in 1969 and beyond. In this hybrid of memoir and motivational self-help guide Aldrin treads on familiar ground touched on in other accounts of the moon mission such as First on the Moon co-authored with fellow astronauts Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins and Aldrin's own previous memoirs also relating to the Apollo 11 mission and his later struggles with alcoholism and depression. Aldrin attempts to shed light on some of the lessons he learned along the way. The author focuses each chapter on an inspirational message. In "Second Comes Right After First" Aldrin initially tells of how he came to embrace being the second man to step foot on the moon following Armstrong. The author has remained a dedicated and forceful advocate for the United States to continue planetary exploration generously participating in fundraisers and providing educational support whenever needed. Aiming to inspire readers of all ages this will likely most appeal to devoted fans of Aldrin. National Geographic hardcover

Aldrin set foot on the Moon at 03:15:16 on July 21 1969 UTC 9 minutes after Armstrong first touched the surface. One of his first missions was on Gemini 12 where he successfully proved that extravehicular activity EVA could be performed by astronauts spending over 5 hours outside the craft thus achieving the goals of the Gemini program and paving the way for the Apollo program. Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon is the second of two autobiographical books written by Buzz Aldrin former Apollo 11 astronaut which author Ken Abraham produced with him. It is a follow-up to his previous autobiographical book Return to Earth. Both a first-person and firsthand account of landing on the Moon-a landing that came within seconds of failure and a description of Aldrin's personal trials and eventual triumphs on Earth--Magnificent Desolation describes a major descent on his part. From the glory of participating in the mission which fulfilled President John Kennedy's challenge to reach the moon before the decade ended Aldrin plummeted in his career with the Air Force having lost both his purpose and his direction while additionally becoming a public-relations tool for NASA and their seemingly relentless and endless world tour. hardcover
