From The Economist print edition
IN HIS history of the National Geographic Society, founded in 1888,
Robert Poole presents a plausible case for nepotism. He shows how five
generations of a public-spirited family, "a proud and private New
England clan", converted a boring academic journal into an
internationally loved magazine, one with millions of loyal
subscribers.
