The explorer gene : how three generations of one family went higher, deeper, and further than any before / Tom Cheshire ; with a foreword by James Cameron.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-290) and index.
Summary
In The Explorer Gene, Tom Cheshire asks how three generations of one family achieved such extraordinary feats, often with the consensus against them. None of the Piccards set out to explore: Auguste was a physicist, Jacques an economist and Bertrand a psychiatrist. Was it fate, a famous family name -- or their explorer gene?
