Louis Figuier

    Guillaume Louis Figuier fut un écrivain et un vulgarisateur scientifique français. Après des études de médecine et une brève période en tant que professeur de pharmacie, Figuier se consacra à la recherche sur le rôle du foie dans le métabolisme du sucre dans le sang. Cependant, suite à une dispute scientifique infructueuse avec Claude Bernard, il abandonne la science expérimentale pour se consacrer à l'écriture. Ses ouvrages se dédièrent à la vulgarisation scientifique, rendant les connaissances scientifiques complexes accessibles à un public plus large.
