A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

F. D. Giddings was born in Fort Collins, Colorado on February 14, 1939. He was the third generation of a pioneer family that arrived in Fort Collins in 1883. F. D. (Frank Dennis) spent most of his teen years working for his father in the Giddings Machine Company where he learned welding, foundry and machinist skills. He was a natural at creating two and three dimensional representations of anything he was associated with leading to his first illustration commission as a student of Zoology at Colorado State University in 1960. Professor David B. Pettus became aware of FD's skills while grading the student's laboratory sketches and hired him to illustrate his laboratory guide published by Burgess Publishing Company. Graduating in 1962 with a degree in Zoology, FD worked in Arizona one year and Montana one year as a field crop entomologist before moving back to Fort Collins to apply for a new position of Medical Illustrator advertised by the college of Veterinary Medicine. When the illustration job failed to materialize, he became a technician in emphysema research as an electron microscopist while illustrating his second book. His illustrations were soon noticed by other researchers and clinicians in the college of Veterinary Medicine which led to his being appointed in 1974 to the directorship of the school's media center generating all illustration and photography for the college of Veterinary Medicine and Allied Health Sciences. He continued to work at the university until 1995 when he left to devote all his time to his illustration business. He continues as a free lance illustrator and publisher to this day.
