Grammar in Nature
April 15, 2007
Souriau was allergic to the Web. It took years for us to overcome his resistance, my son Jérôme and me.

One finally managed to convince him. Jérôme, an IT specialist, made his website and we began to install his scientific works there.
Meanwhile, today, a new development of importance. He finally gave the green light for the online publication of his latest book:
Grammar in Nature
It took him more than ten years to write. The Herman editions should produce a printed version on paper.
CThis book was the obsession of the Mazarine street, in Aix-en-Provence, for more than ten years. But how to publish a book when the author keeps making changes according to new ideas that constantly come to his mind? I took the initiative by telling Jean-Marie that by presenting it on a website, this publication would never be fixed and he could continuously modify the book, a real Penelope's tapestry, according to his convenience. Therefore, you will find the book, in several pdf segments, on the mentioned website.
Commonly, I once again proposed to Jean-Marie, for the nth time, to make illustrations for him. But as usual, he replied:
- I know what will happen. Readers will look at your drawings and not read my text!
I appeal to my readers to convince him to accept me as an illustrator, according to his wishes. To do this, you can send him an email to his address:
Express yourself persuasively.
