Les éperviers du Sacré-Coeur
De Kasba Tadla au Kentucky, du Rif à Montréal, de Wageningen à Rome, de Bruxelles à la Pointe du Blair, les tribulations d'un généticien européen, pied-noir, marié et père de famille. Dreux de Nettancourt retrace les étapes de sa vie : enfance au Maroc, études aux Etats Unis, rencontre avec la femme de sa vie, recherches au sein de la grande communauté des chercheurs scientifiques...
Incompatibility in Angiosperms
Attempting to collect, sort out, comment on and summarize from available literature the relevant information dealing with a specific problem is always a difficult task which necessarily involves sub jective choices and implies a considerable risk of errors and omis sions. The difficulty is increased when, as in the case of incompati bility in angiosperms, the subject to be treated traces its history to preDarwinian times and reflects the total sum of numerous in vestigations dealing with widely different disciplines, such as ge netics, cytology, biochemistry, systematics and physiology, which no single reviewer may pretend to master sufficiently to avoid completely the possibility of misinte...
From Biotechnology to Genomes
Aimed at scientists and non-specialised readers alike, this book retraces the source of national and international biotechnology programmes by examining the origins of biotechnology and its political and economic interpretation by large nations. With a foreword by Andr(r) Goffeau, who initiated the European Yeast Genome Project, the book describes the achievements of the first genetic and physical maps, as well as the political and scientific genesis of the American Human Genome Project. Following these advances, the author discusses the European biotechnology strategy, the birth and implementation of European biotechnology programmes and the yeast genome project.
Incompatibility and Incongruity in Wild and Cultivated Plants
Advances in plant cell molecular biology have considerably increased our understanding of pollen-pistil barriers, particularly those operated by incompatibility mechanisms, and, at the same time, demonstrated the complexity and diversity of rejection systems once considered to be relatively simple. This book reviews the impressive knowledge acquired in the last century on the biology, particularly the inheritance and population genetics of self-incompatibility, and presents the new approaches to the study of the structure, function and evolution of incompatibility alleles and the analysis of cell-cell recognition and pollen rejection. The different methods now available for transforming the breeding behaviour of higher plants are also discussed.
Careers in Science and Technology
Every industrialized country is concerned with maintaining an adequate supply of individuals interested in careers in science and technology, yet little is known about these efforts outside national borders. This book represents the proceedings of an international conference on Trends in Science and Technology Careers, held in Brussels in 1993. Organized at the behest of OSEP and the OIA Committee on International Organizations and Programs, in cooperation with the European Commission (DG XII) and in response to a resolution of the International Council of Scientific Unions, the conference identified international data on career trends, assessed the research base engaged in studying science and technology careers, and identified ways in which international organizations could promote greater interest in science and technology human resource development. The conference laid the groundwork for continuing international discussions about the best ways to study and promote careers in science and technology and national dialogues about the ways to integrate this knowledge into human resources policies.

Tant qu’il y aura des Atomes
« On ne peut qu’admirer l’art avec lequel l’auteur présente des notions scientifiques les plus arides à une jeunesse la plupart du temps peu préparée, peu réceptive. C’est le but recherché, c’est le but atteint. En quelques pages ailées (cf Homère), lumineuses, la fresque de l’Univers tel que la science le voit à l’heure actuelle se déroule devant nos yeux ébahis. Et c’est à une véritable aventure — le mot est bien faible — à laquelle on assiste (...) La vue d’ensemble proposée dans ce livre aux jeunes leur permettra de se familiariser avec leur Univers, dans lequel ils sont jetés (sans l’avoir demandé). Jetés sur ce caillou, cette planète à laque...
