A book on Alexander Grothendieck

A book on Alexander Grothendieck

[Ronnie Brown]

This is to draw the attention of readers of these lists to the book

   "Who is Alexander Grothendieck? Part 1: Anarchy", by Winfried Scharlau,

which a translation of the German Edition, with additional information,
and which   is available from amazon sites, by a search on Books
Grothendieck .  I heard about this book only recently from Matthias Kunzer.

It is a fascinating review of the times and issues, as well as it's
relevance to the story of Alexander Grothendieck, and the book should be
of strong interest also to non mathematicians, for its picture of
turbulent times.

It may also be useful to readers to give the link to a conference
