James Ambrose is Editor of the Parker/Ambrose Series of
Simplified Design Guides. He practiced as an architect in
California and Illinois and as a structural engineer in Illinois.
He was a professor of architecture at the University of Southern
California.

Patrick Tripeny is an Associate Professor, former
director of the School of Architecture, and the current Director of
the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence at the University
of Utah. He is a licensed architect in California. He has been the
recipient of a number of teaching awards at the local and national
level for his work in teaching structures and design. With James
Ambrose, he is the coauthor of Simplified Engineering for
Architects and Builders, Eleventh Edition; Simplified Design of
Steel Structures, Eighth Edition; Simplified Design of Concrete
Structures, Eighth Edition; and Simplified Design of Wood
Structures, Sixth Edition, all published by Wiley.
