May be you are aware that I had undertaken to write a book (in
French, sorry...) about the development of the metric system in France
and in the world.
The book, with the general public as target audience, has just
gone out of press under the title "la grande m�trication".
210 pages , ISBN 2-913197-74-4,
price 15 � (shipping costs not included).
I don't appreciate much the picture on the cover, somewhat too
striking for my taste, but what matters is what is inside, is it
not ? You may see some extracts of it at :
The book will on the bookshops' shelves in France, Switzerland
and Belgium (I am not sure about Quebec) from May, 15 on. At the
same time it will be available from
and

Alternatively, from now on, you may order it , yourself or
through your bookshop, directly from the publisher :

I have sent a copy of it to Mr Pierre Defraigne, head of cabinet
of Commissioner Pascal Lamy.
My contribution to the cause...
