<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>**Also an Academy Award-winning film starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly--directed by Ron Howard**</b> <p/><b>The powerful, dramatic biography of math genius John Nash, who overcame serious mental illness and schizophrenia to win the Nobel Prize.</b> <p/>"How could you, a mathematician, believe that extraterrestrials were sending you messages?" the visitor from Harvard asked the West Virginian with the movie-star looks and Olympian manner. "Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way my mathematical ideas did," came the answer. "So I took them seriously." <p/>Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was a legend by age thirty when he slipped into madness, and who--thanks to the selflessness of a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the mathematics community--emerged after decades of ghostlike existence to win a Nobel Prize for triggering the game theory revolution. The inspiration for an Academy Award-winning movie, Sylvia Nasar's now-classic biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over adversity, and the healing power of love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The Boston Globe" Superbly written and eminently fascinating.<br><br>"The New York Times" Reads like a fine novel.<br><br>Oliver Sacks Deeply interesting and extraordinarily moving.<br>
