<p>"<i>Fascinating Mathematical People</i> is a wonderfully varied collection. We meet brilliantly successful teachers, authors, a dentist, and two Fields Medal-winning Scandinavians. Some came from academic or intellectual families, another from a blazing-hot glass factory in Pennsylvania, and still another from an ancient and storied English aristocratic background. All of them had surprising side paths and detours on their way to mathematical success."<b>--Reuben Hersh, coauthor of <i>Loving and Hating Mathematics</i></b></p><p>"This is a wonderful book."<b>--Barry Cipra, coauthor of <i>What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences</i></b></p>
