The life story of an extraordinary mathematical genius - John Nash - who became schizophrenic, entered remission, and won the Nobel Prize. Nash was only 21 years old and at Princeton University when he invented game theory, the most influential theory of rational human behaviour of our time.
When John Nash won the Nobel prize in economics in 1994, many people were surprised to learn that he was alive. This book presents Nash's contributions not only to game theory, for which he received the Nobel, but to mathematics - from Riemannian geometry and partial differential equations - in which he commands greater acclaim among academics.

In the early 1960s, in a small shack on the Washington coast, a young Japanese scientist performed an experiment to determine what made a certain jellyfish glow. The substance he discovered, green fluorescent protein, would revolutionise molecular biology. This title talks about one of the groundbreaking discoveries of the 20th century.
