Memoirs of a Breton Peasant
Jean-Marie Déguignet
Déguignet’s voluminous journals (nearly 4,000 pages in total) were discovered in a farmhouse in Brittany a century after they were written. This narrative was drawn from them and became a surprise bestseller when published in France in 1998.

Academic Spotlight 
Evolution by Jean-Baptiste de Panafieu
Unprecedented in its approach, the number and diversity of the species presented, and the quality of the photographs, Evolution, forthcoming November 2011, is the book on how we came to be what we are. Spectacular, mysterious, elegant, or grotesque, the vertebrate skeletons of Earth’s fossil record carry within them the traces of several billion years of evolution. Now updated and presented in a smaller format with fifteen new gorgeous photographs, Evolution steps beyond the debate and presents the undeniable truth of Darwin’s theory, showing through skeletons both obscure and commonplace, but always intriguing, the process by which life has transformed itself, again and again. View photos from the book below.
