About the Author

"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."
