Baibai Kamara leads a simple conservative life working on finishing his doctoral dissertation. His love for education and the environment brought him to Prince William County, Virginia, to pursue his doctoral education at George Mason University. Baibai has the same routine when he is on campus. He ordered the same menu of food (Panda) and the same mountain dew drink every lunch he has on campus. Baibai is happy and content with the little he has. Nothing is worrying about life except the difficulty of pursuing a doctoral degree and being underpaid in this region of a higher cost of living (DMV). One request for assistance for his children is about to interrupt his life and threaten to send him to prison and eventually destroy his education career and provision for his family. The walls that he created were about to collapse from a very boisterous county investigator, a county police detective, and county assistant prosecutor (Jennifer Yowell, Det. Kevin Rule, and Prosecutor Sara Bernin), respectively. He is about to learn how to navigate in fighting these diabolic, hateful county officials whom for them cruelty is the point and beat back these forces of darkness that he's avoided all his life. A story about the very worst of humanity, government officials abusing their power to inflict pain and sufferings with false and imaginary crime, but also the best of humanity from defense counsel to save the day.

This lavishly illustrated volume provides a strikingly visual approach to geometric shapes and transformations in 2- ,3- , and 4-dimensional space. Invoking Plato's polygons, Kepler's polyhedra, and Fuller's polytopes, the author presents, by means of hundreds of beautiful illustrations (100 of them in full color), many complex designs which may be found in nature or which may be produced by computer graphics programs. This self-contained work reveals how polygons, polyhedra, and polytopes are effective tools or hieroglyphs with which we may investigate and describe the macro, medio, and micro worlds or the multi-dimensional world without any telescope or microscope and without requiring guidance from others. Forewards by Buckminster Fuller and H. S. W. Coxeter.
