Jim Clark en France

Jim Clark. A name that suggests a prince of speed with a dazzling smile. So much has already been said or written about this extraordinary Scottish champion, whom many consider to be one of the greatest in the history of his sport: His natural elegance, his surgically precise aerial driving, his behaviour as incisive on the track as it is discreet off it, his loyalty and simplicity in his relationships with others, the symbiotic couple he formed with Colin Chapman - the brilliant Lotus creator - his tragic destiny... However, if the international sporting career of the champion is well known, the French part, including his life in Paris, is probably less so. With the help of new testimonies from friends and family, exceptional and unpublished photos and documents (notably from the archives of Gérard Crombac, Michel Finquel and the Clark family), the author has been able to shed light on the French and Monegasque dimension - 41 races in F1, F2, FJ, Sport and GT from 1959 to 1967 - of Jim Clark's unparalleled trajectory.

Les sentiers de la vie – Une invitation à l’étude de l’évolution biologique

The paths of life are very complex. They are tortuous, ramified; important sections are erased forever, and one will not be surprised if the course proposed here is full of pitfalls and uncertainties. To present a subject of such magnitude in such a slim book would be a challenge if we had not committed ourselves to a strict selection of the examples studied and to simplifying the proposed interpretations as much as possible. For this book has no other claim than to be an invitation to the study of biological evolution.

Referenced by the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie, this book was the subject of a very favorable review by Jean-Louis Borie in the journal Biologie-Géologie (n°2-1994).
