520 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?
