From the Author
The approach is bottom-up. This is a book about France and
the French as they are, not as they might be seen from somewhere else. So,
save for international statistical rankings, there are no comparisons of
the country or its inhabitants with other countries or peoples. The entire
book was meticulously copy edited by a native French editor, to ensure that
the French terms and expressions are correct and current and that the more
than a thousand entries are objective and accurate.
