In his first book, Entering The Promised Land, Willie's quest to understand how embedded social biases affect business success led to a much broader revelation. Religious Scholar by training, Willie's source for study was biblical Scripture. In the course of his research, he literally stumbled upon a new methodology for biblical study. He named this new tool the "Defined Word Approach." Much to his surprise, by using this tool, he found a rich cultural heritage for individuals of African descent, hence the title Entering The Promised Land. In his latest writing, The Real Story of Creation, Willie lays out an entirely new perspective on Creation as recounted in the Holy Bible. Using the Defined Word Approach, he breaks down the meaning of the classical Hebrew words used to write the Scripture. The take-away is vastly different from the biblical teachings of the past two centuries. Willie feels that using the Defined Word Approach to read and understand the Bible could be the impetus for re-energizing… Read More

Advances in immunosuppression and kidney transplant techniques have led to significant improvements in the short-term survival of the renal allograft. Long-term graft survival, however, has relatively lagged behind and has now become one of the main problems in kidney transplantation. In this Special Issue, we discuss the recent research developments in kidney transplants that may affect long-term allografts, as well as the survival of the patient. The latest developments in living kidney donation are also explored.

This plastic-spiral-bound workbook is designed as a companion to the editors' Road Vehicle Dynamics, but contains adequate material to stand alone without the parent text. No previous knowledge of road vehicle dynamics is assumed. The book is organized around the concepts of road vehicle dynamics as they have been developed in the frequency and time domain for an introductory undergraduate or graduate course for engineering students of all disciplines, and contains about 300 example problems and detailed worked solutions. Theory is kept to a minimum, and necessary theory is presented in a heuristic and intuitive manner. Safety considerations are covered in most chapters throughout the book. Two complete chapters are devoted to roll dynamics and accident reconstruction to address the legal issues that may result from an automotive accident. About 250 pages of appendices offer background on vector algebra, matrice analysis, Laplace transforms, direct numerical integration methods, and accident… Read More
