Description:
Sylvia Nasar brings to life both an astonishing academic community -- Nash's colleagues at Princeton and MIT included Albert Einstein, John von Neumann, and Paul Samuelson -- and the horrific world of mental hospitals. Her poignant descriptions of Nash's "ghostlike" existence when he returned to Princeton culminate in a triumphant turn-around -- Nash's remission from schizophrenia and his recognition by the Nobel committee.
