Contributor Bio:  Piccard, Bertrand "Bertrand Piccard a de qui tenir. Son grand-pere, Auguste, fut le premier a explorer la stratosphere, son pere, Jacques, a plonger jusqu'au fond de la fosse des Mariannes. Apres son tour du monde en ballon, il s'est promis d'effectuer un autre tour du monde, cette fois aux commandes d'un avion solaire volant sans carburant. Pourtant, ce livre n'est pas celui du pilote de Solar Impulse: c'est celui du medecin passionne par la promotion d'une meilleure qualite de vie et persuade que l'esprit de pionnier ne se limite pas a l'exploration du monde exterieur. C'est avant tout dans notre vie de tous les jours qu'il nous faut le developper." Contributor Bio:  Wilson A. N. Wilson has written lives of Sir Walter Scott, Tolstoy, C. S.
