I am French. I have been a teacher of technical English for many years and have written several manuals in that field. I have contributed to a number of specialist encyclopedias and English-French dictionaries. Besides, I have a degree in mediaeval archaeology from the Paris Sorbonne and a diploma in rural ethnology from the Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris. Publishing houses: Ellipses, Paris ; Eyrolles, Paris ; Edisud, Avignon. I have contributed to the first (1997) edition of the Encyclopaedia of Vernacular Architecture of the World (EVAW) (Cambridge University Press) and the second edition (soon to be released).
