Completely absorbing, fast-paced...Hoffman also has brought vividly, very vividly, to life the world of pure mathematics and the psychologically fragile mathematicians.

A model of lively, intelligent writing about popular science. As Paul Hoffman so brilliantly tells the story in Wings of Madness, Santos-Dumont truly was a man like few others...Unforgettably good. Though a biography, this book works like the best fiction. Completely absorbing, fast-paced...Hoffman also has brought vividly, very vividly, to life the world of pure mathematics and the psychologically fragile mathematicians.
