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).

Lancia Stratos... The mere mention of this name awakens in us feelings of excitement and passion. Erik Comas, the Formula 1 driver reconverted to historic rallies, gave his insight on this mythical sports car that he knows perfectly. He is also the one who mediated Dominique Vincent's approach to all those who have written the most beautiful pages of the history of this icon of motor racing.

Foreword by Erik Comas and introduction by Cesare Fiorio.

Niki Lauda died on May 20, 2019. Three-time Formula One World Champion, the Austrian racer left an indelible mark on the imagination of racing enthusiasts, who have forgotten neither his terrible accident on the Nürburgring, nor his sporting rivalry with James Hunt, then later with Alain Prost. Based on a particularly rich and original iconography and testimonies of people who knew him, Dominique Vincent invites us to follow his itinerary as a driver from the end of the 60s, the least known, to the mid-80s.
