Perfect Rigor

a Genius and the Mathematical Breakthrough of the Century

A wonderful book about the Soviet and Russian education system in general and the unique mathemetical genius that it produced. Hardly anyone is a Grigory Perelman, but any honest independent minded researcher who has had to deal with institutional bureaucracies will read it with a certain sense of déja vu.
