Let X be a projective manifold and f : X → X a rational mapping with large topological degree, dt λk−1 (f ) := the (k − 1)th dynamical degree of f . We give an elementary construction of a probability measure µf such that d−n (f n )∗ Θ → µf for every smooth probability measure Θ on X. We show t that every quasiplurisubharmonic function is µf -integrable. In particular µf does not charge either points of indeterminacy or pluripolar sets, hence µf is f -invariant with constant jacobian f ∗ µf = dt µf.
