{"product_id":"a-beautiful-mind-sylvia-nasar-9781451628425","title":"A Beautiful Mind: The Life of Mathematical Genius and Novel Laureate John Nash","description":"**Also an Academy Award-winning film starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly--directed by Ron Howard** The powerful, dramatic biography of math genius John Nash, who overcame serious mental illness and schizophrenia to win the Nobel Prize.\"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.\" 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvia Nasar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1451628420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451628425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.20w x 1.17d","brand":"Sylvia Nasar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051664142591,"sku":"9781451628425","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f9e6cf9-852c-4bb3-940c-3c6e5fb35eef.jpg?v=1685014436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-beautiful-mind-sylvia-nasar-9781451628425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
