    A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nasar~Writing/Editing Flaws?

    The book, like the subject matter, is beautiful. The author, however, (or the editor), commits some writing flaws. Book Rating: Excellent. Author (Editor) Rating: Below Average. I state this because although Sylvia Nasar obviously has superb research skills and knows how to plot the written story (don't get me started on the movie), I think she could have had a much better final product if she had worked with a technical writer or a medical writer. Her biography studies and relates the life of Nobel Prize-winning mathematician John Nash. His eccentric and at times tragic personality helped him (caused him?)to develop revolutionary mathematical processes. John Nash plummets into a 30-year bout of paranoid schizophrenia -- and somewhat improbably "recovers" in 1990. "Recovery" from ...

    Pleased

    my wife and I were endeared by the movie, so we were a bit surprized at some of the details that we did'nt know about John Nash. Overall, this is a great story about a man that, despite his demons and delusions, was indeed one of the greatest minds of our century. The book is well written, but I could not help coming away with the opinion that the 'story teller' was a little more than slightly biased.

    Excellent book. . .Good price. . .Fast Delivery

    I have degrees in math and physics, and this book gives an excellent account of John Nash's Nobel Prize and his tenure at The Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton - much more than the movie, which dealt more with his paranoid schizophrenia. I bought additional copies of the book on ebay for two of my daughters who have degrees in mathematics.

    beautiful mind

    beautiful mind is a terrific story of a man who was a genius living in a world of madness. the movie is so interesting and the book has more info about john nash's early years; although there is some asides about science/mathematics.

    A Beautiful Mind

    Excellent book-I liked that it detailed more of John Nash's life than the movie portrayed--the good and not so good. Gave very good insight of the working of the mind and the pitfalls of schizophrenia.
