It is with great emotion that we present here this volume dedicated to
the memory of Bernard Jouvet, Docteur es Sciences, Directeur des Recher-
ches at the Centre National pour la Recherche Scientifique. The life and
the career as a physicist of Professor Jouvet are evoked in the
following pages by Professor F. Cerulus, a friend of long standing of
Professor Jouvet. The contributions have been written by physicists who
were friends, collaborators or former students of Professor Jouvet. I
express here my gratitude for their contributions. I wish also to thank
Mrs. France Jouvet for her kind help in the realiza- tion of this book.
Without her support this would have been impossible. I am also
especially indebted to Professor M. Flato for his constant encouragement
and kind cooperation, and to F. Langouche and D. Roekaerts for their
generous help in the preparation of this volume. E. TIRAPEGUI TABLE OF
