I begin with my physics studies (1956-1966) at the university of Liège (Chap. I). Then I go over to my several postdocs in the USA and in Europe (Chap. II to IV). Then, I explain my career at the university of Namur (Chap. V to XI). This period includes my excursions into molecular biology and aspects of the history of sciences in the 20th century. I describe my links with the Donostia International Physics Center in San Sebastian, Spain where I continued my activities after retiring from the university of Namur in 2002 (Chap. VII and VIII). In the final chapters (Chap. XII to XIV), I formulate tributes to colleagues and collaborators and I end with an introspection on my lifeline as a professional physicist.

The physicist Amand Lucas, emeritus professor of the universities of Liège and Namur, is a member of the Académie Royale de Belgique (Classe des Sciences) et de l’Academia Europaea. He is visiting professor at the DIPC (Donostia International Physics Center), San Sebastian, Spain. His areas of research and teaching are condensed matter physics, structural biology and contemporary science history. He is laureate of the Francqui prize (1985) and the Wernaers prize (2001).
