Rencontre avec Bill François bio physicien

In partnership with the regional FFESSM (diving association). Following in the footsteps of mankind's link with rivers, that fragile habitat we need so much. We are all river people. Our history has been shaped by the currents, punctuated by the migrations of fish and a myriad of species that still inhabit our streams and our imaginations. But today, we've forgotten. How can we reconnect with this hidden world and hear the melody of water again? In this fascinating exploration of a thousand scientific curiosities, Bill François introduces us to the unsuspected life of rivers. With our feet in the water, guided by a trout, we meet some incredible creatures: eternally young newts, acrobatic dragonflies, musical catfish, and more. This immersive journey will take us from the depths of the Seine to the farthest reaches of the Amazon, to an isolated tribe, the last to know how, it is said, to reinvent the colours of parrots thanks to the powers of the river... A marvellous invitation to reconnect with the hosts of the rivers. Bill François is a biophysicist and writer. A former student at the École Normale Supérieure, he travels the world to learn more about and preserve aquatic life. His books, which combine humour and poetry, have been translated into some twenty languages and reveal the astonishing facets of nature.
