A Beautiful Mind: The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash

"[This book] might be compared to a Rembrandt portrait, filled with somber shadows and radiant light effects, for it is the story of a dark madness illuminated by a man's genius....Nasar has delved deeply into Nash's year-by-year experiences. The detail does not weigh the story down though. Rather, her exhaustive research has been transformed into novelistic narrative....Superbly written and eminently fascinating, A BEAUTIFUL MIND is simply a beautiful book."Sylvia Nasar is the author of 'A Beautiful Mind: The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash', published 2001 under ISBN 9780743509893 and ISBN 0743509897.
