Book mentioned by Jeff at season finale

I am trying to buy a gift for a fellow survivor fanatic.  Near the end of the survivor Thailand final episode, Jeff Probst told the audience a book which he would read if he were on survivor.  What was the name of the book?

Specifically, Jeff mentioned John Nash's "Non-Cooperative Game Theory", which was actually the subject of his doctoral dissertation at Princeton.  It's  
available at:

It's unlikely that Jeff read it, or would understand it, Wink but your friend might enjoy a more generalized book on Strategy and Game Theory.

I am reading A Beautiful mind right now.  It's an incredible, and true, story.
