Abstract

I am very pleased to contribute to this volume honouring Raymond Daudel; we have been friends for so many years. Indeed, I have to go back forty years, to the years 1946–1947. I was staying in Paris with a grant from the French Government; I remember vividly a lecture I heard in 1946 on the relations between thermodynamics and biology. I confess that I forgot the name of the lecturer; but I remember very clearly the criticisms expressed by Edmond Bauer, who chaired the meeting.
